fiesta 2001 bleeding clutch cylinder

can any one help Ive just fitted a new clutch and slave cylider to a fiesta but have lost all fluid and now need to replace and bleed. Problem is there apears not to be a resevoir for the clutch and have tried bleeding but after a few squirts there is nowt comming out of the bleed nipple now.
Where do you top up the clutch system?
it doesnt seem to share the brake resevoir and after loosing all clutch fluid the brake resevoir still stays the same.

Are you sure it doesn't use the brake resevoir? Most Fords have the clutch pipe about half way up the resevoir so if you have a leak you loose the clutch first before the brakes.
