It's on the front of the transmission held on with 2 bolts and a compression fitting (where the clutch line connects). It's the cheap and easy one to replace. You want to get some metric line-fitting wrenches or "flare" wrenches to make life easy. Regular crescent wrenches can get the job done, but you're a hundred times more likely to strip the fittings. If you bled the clutch and know where it is, then you should be able to easily see how to take it off once you're under there. You don't need to remove it to inspect it.
EDIT: I still think it's the master cylinder unless the slave is visibly leaking.

ok well the slave cylinder isnt leaking i know that for sure. But fopr the master cylinder i pushed my finger on the rubber fitting where the rod attached to the clutch is and i got fluid on my finger. but it isnt leaking out everywhere. just a little wet. but wouldnt my clutch fluid level go down if anything was leaking?

ok well i just wanted to see again if anything was leaking and i search through a few things. i felt the slave cylinder underneath and when i looked at my hand to see if nething was on it i had some fluid on it. both master and slave arent leaking like crazy. but they are both wet. but i looked on ebay and a master and slave cylinder are not to much money. you can get both together for 56 bucks which isnt bad at all. so do you think a good chance that if i replace both pieces it should solve my problem? and will i have to rebleed it again even tho i already did?

well when you replace it.... you've just allowed a shitload of air into your system and you would need to bleed it.... try replacing the slave first usually it's easier and faster....then check it...then do the master
