James,
You also have a slave cylinder in the system. It is
possible that it leaked out of the slave. I suppose
you could fill the master cylinder back up, bleed the
system & check for leaks. Might take a while though?
It still could've leaked out of the clutch MC or there
is the possibility of the red plastic flexible hose
between the MC & slave.
Get yourself rebuild kits for both the MC & Slave &
get a new flexible hose. I suspect all these
components are OLD & it wouldn't hurt to replace the
seals.
Cheers,
Todd Bermudez
