bleeding clutch?

so i just got my car, and i was checking fluids seen that there was no fluid in the clutch. Now im not exactly sure if this has anything to do with it or not, but when i push the clutch it goes straight to the floor, no friction, and it wont return itself.. i know that the clutch was replaced and has been driven on before it was parked. so im just wondering how i go about adding fluid/bleeding the clutch to get the fluid through the lines.
Thanks.

First thing you need to do is pull back the rubber boot on the slave cylinder and see if it is wet under there. If it is then that is your problem and you need a new slave cylinder. The clutch master you have to look inside the car and check the area where the clutch master enters and see if it is wet there. If it is then the master is your problem.

It is recommended that you replace both of them anyways at the same time. The clutch hose is another recommendation.
The procedure to bleed is in any repair manual or can be found via the FSM link.
