Clutch problems

All the sudden clutch goes to the floor no resistense. I thought well **** clutch is out but then when thinkin about it I thought maybe the clutch master cylinder went out well I think that is the problem but there is absolutly no clutch at all and the car won't go into gear. My question is where is the clutch resevouire. Just so I can take it to my mechanic. Can anyone help me locate it?

You might have a leak in your clutchline. Which is like a $20 fix for a stainless braided line. I would check there first since its one of the cheaper things.

Also is your brake light coming on in the dash? That would mean your clutch fluid is low. (They share the same fluid.)

Crap, sounds like everybody is having clutch problems (me included). haha. I would go from easiest to hardest when you check it out. Umm, like what was stated before, check the cluch line. Hopefully thats the only thing. If that looks ok, next thing in line would be the clutch master. Check that. If that seems to be fine, check the slave. Next would be the clutch fork. Might be able to see if its ok through the inspection hole on the very bottom of the bell housing. If not, you will be able to see it though the hole for the slave cylndr. Good luck finding you problem. Hope its easy and cheap.
