Default 98 ITR clutch problems need help/opinions

whats goin on guys, i have a 98 with 35xxxx on the motor and recently ive been having clutch problems. the clutch feels super lite and almost doesn't engage enough to put the car in gear. I found out that i had almost no clutch fluid, so i filled it up but its still the same so im wondering if i should bleeed the system.
3 questions....

1) Does anyone have a guide of how to do this?

2) is there anything else i should be worried about or check while im doing this???

3) could it mean i have a bad clutch?

First you need a friend to sit in the driver seat and pump.
Then crack loose the bleeder nipple on the slave cylinder.
Have your friend pump the clutch pedal with the bleeder nipple closed. Then tell him to hold the pedal down as you open the nipple.. and repeat until there is pressure. Make sure to keep an eye on the resevior, as the fluid level will drop.. Then you might have to start over.

Check your clutch master and slave cylinder for leaks.. I'd bet on a leak, it shouldn't use up that much fluid due to wear.

As for the clutch, yeah, check for leaks first. Bleeding, I just did as the Helms manual recommended. Pumped a bit of fluid through, making sure it's topped off.
