Default Possible master/slave cylinder leak?

I searched. This is the only thread I could find:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1742137

But this morning I went to get in my car (95 Si) when I pressed the clutch in to start it it immediately felt very soft, barely any resistance and only after pressed in 50% or more.
So I backed the car out, put it in first and drove off.
The gears seemed difficult to put in, mostly first. So I pulled over and checked the reservoir and it was empty, just with a tiny amount of liquid, so I drove home and refilled it. I looked when the car had been parked for the night and there was no leaks. It didn't leak inside the car and on the carpet because it isn't wet anywhere.
Any help?
The liquid hasn't gone away yet, but the clutch feels very similar.
Thank in advance.

follow the line from the master to the slave and find the leak. Mine was leaking at the damper.

replace both master and slave cylinder at the same time. It's most likely the Master Cylinder where the rod pushes into the mc itself. You could probably pull the carpet up and find a trail of clutch/brake fluid. good luck!
