Default Clutch Slave Cylinder Question ????

Today I had a problem getting my car into gear at the light. All of a sudden the clutch pedal went straight to the floor, wondering what was wrong I pulled over jamming the car into 1st gear, later realizing that there was no fluid in the clutch resivour. Before I used to always check the little tank to make sure there was fluid in there, sometimes it needed some and sometimes it was cool.
Now for the question:
Could it be possible that the Clutch Cylinder went out or the Slave Cylinder went out, If anyone can help out with this question madd props to you, Thanks
Also the Slave Cylinder seems to have the boot torn and looks like it could be leaking but want to make sure what it is before I go get anything from the dealer.

Also wanted to add:
How much do those parts run about I've gotten these quotes:
Clutch Master Cylinder =$115
Slave Cylinder =$75
(Dealer parts)

got my slave at the dealer for about 60, those prices sound about right. if you are mechanically inclined, it should be cake. check the slave on your tranny, and see it there is fluid there, and then check under your pdeals to see if the master is leaking

If your clutch still goes to the floor with no resistance, you have a leak somewhere.

Checked for leaks and doesn't seem to be any, looked like the Clutch Damper was leaking before but I cleaned it up and its fine now.
One of the Honda tech near my house told me it could also be the Clutch hose, since its high pressure it could also be leaking, but gotta clean the engine first to find out..... Thanks for everyones help on this, hopefully someone knows exactly whats wrong with my girl

the bleader should be closed, and to release the air, make sure the pedal is down, and then open up the valve...repeat.. and repeat, untill you have pressure that you want...

yeah. you gotta pump the clutch with the bleeder closed about 10 times. then open the bleeder with the pedal down, and let the air out, then close. pull the pedal up and pump 10-15 more times, and do the same as before. repeat until youthink the world has ended and finally you will begin to get some pressure. keep pumping until you get the pressure you want and all the air is out. takes me about 2.5 bottles of honda fluid to get it done. sometimes more if i am not paying attention. the kninked was supposed to mean "kninked" and in a clutch line. check those also to see if you are losing pressure there. good luck man, cause that clutch is a biatch to bleed by yourself

When I bleed my clutch I usually loop some string behind the pedal so I can pull it back up.
