the same thing happened to me almost a year ago. the clutch master cylinder (white/clear container against firewall, outermost) was low on fluid so i put more in. than a month later or so it did it again. so i refilled again. then the clutch pedal started getting oil running down it and the cylinder went dry again.

the problem was the cylinder itself was bad and leaking fluid through the fire wall down the pedal, making it slippery and ruining the carpet, not to mention making the car undriveable.

the solution was to replace the clutch master cylinder ($10-20 over ebay). id advise to refill the cylinder and just was for this again. it may just need to be refilled. if it happens again you might wanna replace it.
