When your brakes are bled, the clutch fluid should have been bled too.
Owner's manual says to inspect and top them up at the same time. You've
probably got AIR in there now because the level got low. Likely requires
bleeding, but for now top up the tiny reservoir under the hood with
brake fluid and hope that pumping the pedal may release the trapped air
(less than 50:50 chance). You'll should then determine if it was an
actual leak or just 12 years of neglect / evaporation that caused it.
Your owner's manual is here if you don't have the original:
