I would also check that your brake caliper is not leaking. Your car should have a shared reservoir between brake and clutch master cylinders. I suggest this because it happened to me (curiously also during clutch work). As far a bleeding goes, you can purchase a cheap hand operated bicycle tire pump and make a reservoir fitting. I used a large fender washer with a bolt diameter that would take a tire valve and outside diameter large enough to fit the cap of the reservoir. To use this assembly, you just need to pop the level indicator from the cap ( it comes out fairly easy) and fit the washer/tire valve in its place. I got the tire valve from my local auto parts store and the washer from a local hardware store. Note, to get the fit I was happy with, I got a washer that had a slightly larger than needed outside diameter and used a bench grinding wheel to resize it. When pressurizing, do not use too much pressure or you will pop seals. About 10 - 20 PSI is what I used. Jim 87 C900 RIP 87 C900S RIP
