Default tiny leak from above clutch

Hey guys today i was looking under the clutch for pretty much no reason lol. I noticed that one drop had seemed to form of the master cylinder. I have had no problems with the clutch at all. Is it normal for a tiny bit of fluid to get by there? here is a pic of it. Also i recently cleaned some of the fluid out using a pump.

if its grease then yes, if its fluid then you will need to change your clutch master cylinder because it will eventually get worse and you don't want to get stuck anywhere once it does.

When was the last time you changed the fluid? Might be that time to do so.
