Please help! Clutch fluid leaked.

Hello Guys,
I have noticed some fluid on the floor by driver side front.
When i got home, i took the cover off the driver side front. sure enough, fluid all over the place because the cap was lose . Edit, reservor is still full and seems like fluid was being pushed out . oh btw, the fluid is in light green color.


The clutch works fine, what should i do now? I know clutch fluid is really bad on paint, Can i just hose off that area? Do i have to bleed the clutch or just top it off before i take it to the dealer?

Thanks guys!

Here are some pictures: IS IT CLUTCH FLUID?

Edit: guys i did more search, and looks like it's hydraulic fluid for power steering?

This slave cylinder failure comes oem with almost every Turbo, there are a lot of threads about it, for instance this:

I just picked up some pentosin to top up mine, going in Monday for the fix but I needed the car this weekend. Well known problem, should be a recall but Porsche perhaps is too proud.

That stuff is nasty, clean it all up asap. My cap does not tighten either.
