    If it is leaking onto your carpet, the clutch master cylinder will need to be replaced, it is the only possible cause of a leak to the inside of the cab.

    2 in spacer lift front 2, in AAL rear [tundra leaf] , flip up tow mirrors, ARE shell electric brake controller and cooper ATP 265/r70x16 tires on stock TRD wheels
    My best guess would be the clutch master cylinder only fix is to rebuild or replace [recommend replace] and bleed the clutch hydraulic system.

    Dripping is not going to cut it. A bubble can sort of attach itself inside the hose and stick there. If you press the pedal, the pressure and speed of the fluid running by will pick up the bubbles and eject them. Just opening and dripping might do nothing but cost you some brake fluid, leaving the soft pedal intact.

    I confirmed that the clutch master cylinder was the problem, it would leak a drop every time the clutch pedal was pressed
