That is correct, it is that screw topped reservoir in front of the vacuum power brake, that big black turkey on the firewall, drivers side. Anyway, get yourself a quart of DOT 3 brake fluid and fill it up. It might be so thirsty it will work without bleeding it. Try it. If it needs to be bled, on the clutch you can do it by yourself but you have to get under the center of the car. If you can get under the car and be safe, you need a small box end wrench, I think it is a 7mm. Anyway fill the reservoir to the top, get under there and open that screw on the bleed valve just outside the transmission on the passenger side. Open that bleed screw, let the brake or clutch fluid run for a minute or so, close the bleed screw and you should be good to go for a little while, because your clutch slave cylinder is leaking and it will soon all leak out again.
