Yes, this is a common failure in high mileage units.
There is a smaller master cylinder next to the brake master cylinder. The clutch uses brake fluid also. If you mean where does it go if it is low, the slave cylinder on the transmission is probably leaking.
At least the slave cylinder. The clutch master cylinder can be replaced at any time.
What about the master cylinder? They go out, ha. That's all I can help you with though.
The master clutch cylinder is attached to the clutch pedal. When one depresses the pedal hydraulic fluid is forced from the master cylinder through the hard line to the slave cylinder. The piston in the slave cylinder is driven against the clutch linkage thereby releasing the clutch.
The clutch pedal assembly has a clutch rod that pushes in on a clutch master cylinder. There is a hydro line that goes from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder.
The clutch master cylinder is in the engine compartment and the slave cylinder for the hydraulic clutch is inside the manual transmission bellhousing
There are two normal causes. The clutch is worn out or there is a leak in the hydraulic clutch slave or master cylinder. To check the clutch, press the clutch slave cylinder down. If the clutch slave cylinder bellows compresses down to the slave cylinder, the clutch is worn out. Check the clutch master cylinder fluid level. if this is low, then the clutch cylinder need to be checked. To check for a hydraulic leak in the clutch slave cylinder, remove the cylinder's bellows and check for any fluid. If fluid is present, rebuild or replace the cylinder and bleed the system. To check the clutch master cylinder, check the back the of clutch master cylinder for leaks. If fluid is present, replace or rebuild clutch master cylinder and bleed the system. In my experience, hydraulic leaks occur at the clutch slave cylinder.
That used to be true when Chevy, Ford and Mopar V8s ruled the road but with modern multi overhead cam, fuel injected turbo charged engines the gains from the clutch master cylinder can go as high as 50 hp. A clutch master cylinder boosts your cars hp about 15 and that's just about it. A clutch master cylinder boosts your cars hp about 15 and that's just about it.

The gasket to your clutch master cylinder is probably broken or cracked. or your master cylinder is bad.
The clutch gets its fluid from the master brake cylinder reservoir. The master clutch cylinder sits just below the master brake cylinder reservoir and is fed fluid by gravity.
The fluid for the clutch comes from the brake fluid. After the brake master cylinder, there is a clutch master cylinder which takes fluid from the brakes. Fill up the Brake master cylinder.
