yeah thats right, check the fluid level first, i had the same problem some time ago, my clutch was a bit softer than normal, checked fluid level, it was almost empty, topped up and gave few pumps of the pedal, all back to normal. i can't seem to find a leak but i have to top it up every 2-3 month, not a big deal, so i left it like that. but i always carry a bottle of oil and brake fluid in the boot of my car.

if it's fairly old it's probably time to change it
iirc new unit from honda for an ek was only about 75odd, not too sure about a bb6 though but i wouldn't imagine it'd be much different

Next to you brake booster there should be a smaller plastic reservior with a grey cap on it, open the cap and see if there are fluid in it, there is a line on it where the brake fluid should sit, anything below that needs a top up.

also follow your clutch pedal upwards where it connects to the master cylinder itself, usually leaks from there too

Sorry yeah, clutch fluid, but you use brake fluid to top it up though.
