Default clutch line fluid empty? wtf

well i went to start my car up and pull it in my garage to change my oil pan gasket cause that **** is done, so i was backing up my car and at first it was rough to get it into gear, then when i backed it up into my driveway and turned it off, the clutch pedal went to the floor and stayed ther and i couldnt get my car outta reverse, so i check the fluid in my master, and it was bone dry and i just bled my clutch last week. theres no leaks cause its a new slave cylinder and i have a braided clutch line, what the [freak] could have happened? i gotta bleed it again obviously. when bleeding the clutch should i have the resevoir cap off or on? anybody got any ideas?

yeah, if there are no leaks, sounds like you didn't get all the air out.
i bleed the clutch system the same way i would bleed brakes. yes keep the cap on and keep filling it when needed. do not let it run out.

I always leave the cap off cuz in like three pumps you've already drained that little resorvoir on an empty line.
