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.
