Need help with leaking clutch fluid

For starters I'm not very mechanicaly inclined. But if this is something I can fix myself I'm gonna need a lot of help reguardless. I'm pretty sure I saw a puddle in my garage last night but must have dried up today. Anyway my resevoir is pretty much bone dry. What do I look for to fix this problem? As much help as possible would be appreciated. Thanks

Brake fluid doesn't dry up that easily - did it seep into the ground or cement?&nbsp Make sure it was brake fluid that is leaking before assuming so...

Well I noticed that all of a sudden I wasn't getting much play with the clutch. I'd have to press it almost to the floor to get it to engage. And when I got home that night is when I noticed the puddle in my garage. So I'm positive it's my clutch fluid, why else would my resevoir be dry. Ran my finger through the puddle last night and it was clear break fluid. I filled it this afternoon, so hopefully no leak tomorrow. lol, but I'm expecting the same problem. But anyway I did think the same thing too. Was wondering where the puddle had went. Don't know if it seeped into the cement or what?

I would first look at the bleeder valve, make sure it is tight then check the line leading to the cylinder. sometimes the clutch goes bad and leaks, I have already had that happen to me it is really easy to change.
