Default HELP lost Clutch / fluid

Hello all need a little help yesterday I went on a 600 mile drive and at 210 miles left to go I lost the use of my clutch and only had a 1/2 a tank of gas. I was able to get within 42 miles from home thats where I ran out of gas I drove it 169 miles in 3rd gear ran 3 red lights I was on the pacific coast and I live in the central valley. Now on with the help I need today I cleaned out what fluid I had left put new stuff in I opened my bleeder and pumped the pedal all the fluid was gone in the canister looked under the car and saw a puddle of fluid.

here is my question for all

Last year I did a clutch job new slave and rebuilt my T.T. I also added a remote bleeder that came with my TICK adjuster is thier any chance that the Hydraulic line came un-done from the slave or did my slave give out and what would be the easyest way to find out. Any help would be great I am not looking forward to droping everything to replace it

My guess would be the fitting at the end of your remote bleeder at the location of the copper washer & fitting.
This connects to the business end of the slave/nipple.

See picture.

Could be the bleeder line came loose or a failed slave cylinder puking fluid. Get it out and report back.
