Clutch Hydraulics - Bleeding

Tried to bleed my spongy clutch today without any luck. Pedal to the floor now.
Where is the reservoir for the clutch fluid?? Seems like the master is not getting fluid when pedal is pulled back.

I did a "reverse bleed" with a 50Ml syringe and a clear plastic tube connected to the bleed port. It took some time to empty the syringe with steady pressure, then closed the bleed port. Fluid level in the brake master rised. Clutch operation back in business! It might be my imagination, but the pedal feels firmer and lighter to operate. Crossing fingers that the clutch will last a while more.
Seems like there is a restriction in the flow between the brake master reservoir and clutch master cylinder.

think i need to try this,wife car has a new clutch but feels like too much free travel at the top of the pedal,so my theory is its air
is there a "how to do it " anywhere?
