Are you sure it's a hydraulic system?

Most times it is a clutch disc that has gotten oil on it from a rear main leak or valve cover / intake leak and it will need replaced. No amount of adjustment will fix it if this is the problem.

it looks like it has a drain plug on the under side, and there appears to be fluid leaking from the bottom....

If yes, then yes there is both a drain plug and a fill plug on it. All you need to do is get an 11/16" 8 point socket to fit the square plugs and take them out. Just make sure you take the fill plug out first so you're sure you can fill it back up. Put a pan underneath to catch the old fluid and let it drain out. Once it stops, replace the drain plug and fill it up with plain old 90W gear oil through the fill plug hole until it runs out of the hole, then replace that plug and you're done. That's all there is to it.

Sorry for the kindergarten artwork, but here's the plug. It's a little less than halfway up on the driver's side.
