Only if the brake fluid is leaking from the clutch hydraulic system.

there is a second reservoir apart from the one that goes into the master cylinder which goes directly into the firewall.this is the one thats empty.when i fill it up with fluid the clutch works and gears engage till it all leaks out.the only visible sign of break fluid leakage seams to be directly under the bell housing but thats with limited room,help!

Clutch slave cylinder leaking.
Take car to mechanic and he will install some clutch stop leak for you.

'Mechanic' should probly replace.

I didn't want to make the explanation to complicated.
