Noob: how to bleed clutch '97 Civic
Hi all - first off, I have zero knowledge about cars.
Problem is my clutch won't engage - turns out the reservoir is empty. I bought clutch fluid and was told I have to bleed the clutch, but I can't find a video to show me how to do this. Anyone have any resources? I can't drive until I figure this out, so I need to do this ASAP, and I'm hoping this solves my problem so I don't have to take it to a mechanic. Thanks for your help!

Have you tried to determine why the clutch reservoir has no fluid? For example, is there a leak? Do you see fluid staining on the carpet below the clutch pedal?

Thanks, RonJ!
I figured the first step would be to fill it and bleed it, and (if that works and I can drive) then see if it leaks out. Then I'll know if there's a leak...
Just checked the car and there's no fluid stain below the clutch pedal.

Ok, if I can find out where that is I can look. I found this guide but the images are broken: OFFICIAL DIY: Replacing the Clutch Slave Cylinder (Leaking clutch fluid) | ClubCivic.com - Your Online Civic Community

Thank you. Any resources for bleeding the line? That's where I need to start. I still can't find anything online that shows me how to do that.
