I recently had my clutch master cylinder and slave replaced. guy had me buy a bottle of clutch/brake fluid. the car has been driving like a:hellyeah: dream. I happened to look under the hood and saw that the little tank was completly emptyWTF. So I looked under the car and found no leaks other than a very very minor oil leak(one drop of oil on the ground in one night). I also realized that I had no clutch issues while driving and even parking(which I just did 2 minutes before looking) My friend said the system might have absorbed all the liquid. The bottle that I bought was small and combined with the spilling(while pumping the clutch pedal)and the fact that the brakes share the tank too, it's believable. I just want to know before i add another bottle, is when doing the clutch master cylinder/slave, is it similar to adding coolant to an empty system(where you add and add and the system absorbs it and once it is fully absorbed you just finish filling the tank. Im fresh to this so im sorry if it is a stupid question
 
When you bleed the system, you never let the level drop below the reservoirs bottom. If it does, you will pump air bubbles into the system. Its easier to just re-bleed the system, to have a little more peace of mind. You don't have to adjust anything on the pedal height or anything as long as it was adjusted properly before. Just put more fluid in and bleed all air bubbles out. Also, these can leak inside the cabin, so you might want to check up under the dash as well. Hopefully its not leaking on you.
