Urgent leaking
OK, you need to identify the fluid - Color? (Red, Green, Other). Smell - (Hydraulic, sweet) Your new slave should be using brake fluid - not Pentosin - so if it's not green and doesn't smell sweet, it could be clutch fluid (but there should be none of that on the left side rear of the car).
Have you been able to follow the drip up from the ground, onto the engine and to a source?

OK, that's Pentosin. It may have come from the hydraulic lines removed from the old clutch. Check both ends to see if the lines have any fluid remaining. Clean up any fluid you can see. Your slave is OK because it doesn't contain Pentosin any more so it didn't come from there.
I would top up and monitor your steering fluid level and see if any more fluid appears on the floor, but I would bet the fluid moved in the disconnected lines and just emptied on the floor.

Why would the clutch pedal act like Tht then? Before it was fine, but the shop forgot to add the safety pin on the pedal so I put it in. After I did it started acting funny... I didnt move anything or break anything just put the pin in.
I bet its the O ring that's on the pentosin reservoir. When I was working on a coolant leak, I had to loosen the pump. That is where I saw a small leak. I replaced the O ring as part of the maintenance.
I would assume so. Would i damage anything driving on low pentosin?
Can you text me so I can send u a video of the clutch pedal, If u don't mind. 347 920 6 three 5 three
