If it's empty you've got a leak, check the system out for signs of fluid leaking.

quite close to where the clutch fluid goes in, there is a 90 degree turn in the brake pipe and for some reason this is rubber hose joined to the metal pipe with a jubilee clip each end..check these joints for leaks with a decent torch........I was losing fluid from here as the jubilee clip had rotted:)

On both my vans the metal pipes that go from the reservoir to the master cylinder (joined together by the little rubber bends) had rotted through[xx(] I replaced the lot with a length of hydraulic hose from a local engineering supplier. 1.5 metres is plenty and cost about a fiver:)

Morning Colin, nothing to report. Picked up the rest of the panels I need from Martin the other week but got problems with Harvey gearbox/clutch to sort out first:I
