No, if your clutch fluid leaked out you have a problem. No overflow, and
it has nothing to do with the transmission -- it is a separate
self-contained system. First guess: bad hose. You need to determine the
point of failure (hose or master or slave cylinder), or just replace the
whole set (I think you can get a discount on the set).
