Yes, if the CSC were to leak, the fluid would leak into the bellhousing and I'm assuming it is possible the fluid could get on the clutch. If that were the case, only the clutch disk would need to be replaced. I was hoping maybe the OP looked under the car when he realized his reservoir was empty. If there is fluid on the ground directly under the transmission then its definitely the csc.
