About a few weeks ago out of the blue, when i was turning my car on, i notice when i tried to switch to first gear it was extremely hard. Puzzled i opened my hood and i opened my clutch reservior and it was COMPLETELY EMPTY... then i went inside my car and notice clutch fluid had leaked all inside right near where the clutch was.... so i filled it up and no problem... till today where it all happened again......PLZ help..... i dunno wat the problem can be and i'm wondering if i can fix it myself... THANKs.

You need a new clutch master cylinder. I have the same problem. You can rebuild it but I think getting a new one would be better.
 
Replace the slave cylinder at the same time. They both wear evenly and a 100% efficient master cylinder will blow out an 80% efficient slave in very short order. Do not adjust the master cylinder threaded section until the system has been properly bled as well. After it's been thoroughly bled and the clutch system works, only then should you adjust the threaded section. Only small adjustments should be made to it as well to prevent damaging the new master cylinder.

yeah that is the slave cylinder, i got a great site for tokico master and slave, i got both of those for 80 dollars shipped, but you need to bleed it if it has sucked all the fluid down
