So you have been answered... the same reservoir feeds the brake and
clutch master cylinders on most of these cars.

You'll see a short, usually cloth-covered, hose leading from the lower
side of the brake fluid reservoir to the clutch master.

I can't remember whether you need to actuate the clutch pedal to do this
or not (using the pressure bleeder), but it's pretty simple.
