There are 2 possible fluids that can leak from the clutch housing. Transmission fluid from the transmission and engine oil from the rear main seal. Since the clutch slave cylinder is mounted outside of the clutch housing, it wouldn't be coming from inside. I'd bet it's engine oil>

You would have to touch the fluid and smell it, look at it..... oil would be brown or black, brake fluid red-brown in color and strong smelling, trans fluid red and oilly.....

If both levels are OK & if it's dark brown, then it's engine oil. If it's green or pink , it's coolant.
