1st where did the original fluid go?, fix this first.

Then there are 2 bleeders, one on the slave cylinder, then a 2nd on the drivers side fender under the hood.

Good luck

1) Please use lower case when posting on this forum. Posting in all capitals is a violation of Netiquette. It makes people think YOU ARE SHOUTING!

2) Go to http://www.motorvate.ca/
In the left window click on Transmission.
In the left window click on Clutch Bleeding.

This site is excellent for the home mechanic. You may like to browse it.

JohnnyMax gave good advice. Don't ignore a leak, fix it. Here is an idea of how you might do this.

Replenish the clutch master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid. Have an assistant sit behind the wheel and pump the clutch pedal repeatedly. The engine does not have to be running for this test. You look under the hood and under the car, searching for the leak. I'll bet it is in the slave cylinder. If you like to do your own "wrenching" you may rebuild the slave. PartsAmerica.com lists a rebuild kit, Raybestos CSK1038, for $8 plus shipping. Figure another $2 for some brake fluid, and you can get your car back on the road for $15 plus your time.
