You will need to locate the clutch slave cylinder/concentric slave bleed screw usually visable. You will need brake fluid, bleed bottle, correct spanner to slacken off bleed screw, top up clutch fluid resevoir, fit pipe to bleed screw get someone to press down clutch as u open bleed screw watch for air and the tighten do this till no more air is visible in the pipe. Remember to keep reservoir topped up.
Sorry I don't know but if it is a hydraulic clutch and not a cable, the clutch master cylinder should be simple to locate as it is generally mounted on the engine compartment/passenger compartment firewall in approximate alignment with the clutch pedal.
Once the clutch master cylinder is located the reservoir won't be far from it. The traditional type of clutch reservoir has almost been superceded by a semi-sealed type. Sometimes the reservoir is remote and connected by a tube and often a fluid supply from the brake reservoir is used.
Details should be found in the vehicle handbook...
brake fluid goes in the reservoir on top of the clutch master cylinder. If there is no reservoir check for a line to the brake master cylinder reservoir as some cars use the brake master cylinder reservoir as a common unit . Check that that reservoir is full. Bleed out the slave cylinder to remove air in the system.
Is your clutch fluid reservoir low? It's on the firewall, next to the brake master cylinder. If it's full, your clutch master cylinder or the clutch slave cylinder needs to be checked. One may have a weak seal that leaks internally..
It is likely you have drawn air into the system. Check the clutch reservoir and refill if needed. Use DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid. Bleed the system to restore clutch pedal. Check the clutch slave cylinder for leaks. If leaking, the slave cylinder will need to be replaced and the system bled again. Please let me know if you have questions.
The clutch is a fluid clutch. The only adjustment is to make sure the fluid is full. The ones I have worked on use a combined resoveir that holds brake fluid for both the brakes and the clutch system. So check the fluid in your master cylinder.
Need more info on what the trans is doing , or not doing. No chance that brake fluid cools or lubes your transmission. The only possible connection is that your clutch is hydraulic which would use brake fluid , but two totaly different systems. Does your clutch feel funny?
Check the rear wheel cylinders if you have drum brakes on the rear. Check the master cylinder cap to be sure it's on right & snug. Use D.O.T. 3 fluid,not synthetic. If you're losing fluid there's a reason. Check the front brake pads & slides for the calipers,could be frozen with rust & eating up the pads. Fluid would seem low if the pads are shot.
