Default clutch pedal question... help me please!

okay so today i go out and drive my car, everything is normal. I get a little bit down the road (1/2 mile) and i notice that i don't get any resistance from the clutch pedal until it is roughly 2 inches below the brake pedal. my friend said the clutch reseviour is probably low on fluid, but i have no idea where that is located and what type of fluid i should be putting in.. anyone have any other ideas/input/pictures of where this reseviour is?
btw my car is a 94 civic ex coupe.

It should be located on the driver side shock tower. You should use brake fluid (I use honda brake fluid) and have the system properly bleed.

If it's low, check for leaks.

okay, put some brake fluid in and had to pump the clutch like 20 times before i got a good amount of resistance from it, but after letting it sit for a few hours, it went back to having almost no resistance.. do i need to bleed it? i didnt get a chance to today because it was raining almost all day.
on another note, my weather stripping looks to be almost shot, any suggestion on where i can get new weather stripping?

Would you recommend just getting one from a junkyard or ordering a brand new one? If so, where can i order a new one from?

well, i checked the master cylinder on my way out to work and its still pretty full, so now my question is: is there a bleed valve somewhere that could be open, causing it to drop the pressure like that so quickly?

Quick note for the wether stripping...AIM makes a product called "rubber renewer" for just such a purpose as to refurbish old wether stripping and pretty much all plastic and rubber. Other companies like Blue Coral (not a big fan of their stuff) and McGuiers should make something similar. Hope that helps. Cheers
