Clutch pedal straight to the floor, leaking fluid

Last night I was driving home from a friends place, and was on the throttle doing a pull and hit a decent size bump in the road, all of a sudden my clutch pedal started to go towards the floor with lots of play. In about 20 seconds, my pedal pretty much went to the floor with zero engagement. I was then forced to push it to a parking lot and saw a trail of fluid behind the car. I noticed that my clutch reservoir was completely empty (probably from the leak). I noticed that the leak was coming from the bottom of the tranny where the bell housing meets up right above the front crossmember. I'm thinking the culprit is the Slave cylinder? But aren't they internal in the transmission? Is it possible if the Slave can leak out of the transmission? If it is the Slave, I wonder if the cause of it was the bump or just coincidence. I'm super confused so any idea's guys? Thanks

-Shawn

The infamous Concentric Slave Cylinder failure. Multiple threads here about it.
