new 76 mg owner. I bought car at police auction and have been working on it. Car runs, brakes are fixed, now the clutch. how do you bleed clutch system? the fluid res was empty so i added fluid and before i could find out how to bleed system it leaked on floor board. where should I start first? thanks for help!
 
welcome to the Board...I also have a 76 and just went through the exact same process. If you filled it up with fluid and it's leaking on the floor boards it's likely your master cylinder is shot. I got some on the floor boards as well...but I had overflowed the cylinder to where it spilled over.

To bleed it there is a bleeder screw on the passenger side of the tranny (attached to the slave cylinder). I used a mity-vac, but the old standard of having one person depress the clutch, with another opening the bleeder and then reclosing at the bottom of the pedal stroke has also worked for me.
 
If you have probs bleeding it after fixing it, try using pump style oil can and plastic tubing and pumping brake fluid backwards from the slave cylinder starting with a completely empty system.
