Hello all , im wondering , my clutch cylinder resevoir was low on fluid to the point where i had no clutch , i added fluid and pumped it back up , but it went to floor again . i re pumped it up , and checked the fluid , it was still full , im wondering if i need to bleed it, and how if so. it is an 1985 tpi with a 4+3 transmission. any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will find the procedure in this PDF from my 86 FSM >> http://members.shaw.ca/agent86/Clutch.pdf

It's obvious your clutch hydraulic system has a leak. Find it, fix it, then bleed the system.

Check for leaks at slave and master, where it comes through firewall. Usually drips onto the carpet, when the master fails.
