all the clutch fluid leaked out. We put some and it just came straight out the bottom. It's not leaking from the hoses just out the bottom. So I need a new clutch and secondary cylinder.

This is common when the slave cylinder is leaking. I am attaching a lot of information on this but this will give you all the info that you need to determine what the issue is.

Starting with this guide on what happens when your clutch is not working:

Followed by videos of how to replace all of these components.

This video shows the job being done on a similar car but the process is the same.

Run through this material and let us know if you have other questions. Also, I attached the info from the manual on the slave cylinder. I would recommend inspecting the friction disc and make sure that it is not contaminated with fluid. It will need to be replaced if it is.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
