Default Clutch Hydraulics

Got in the car a few days ago and the clutch went to the floor. I checked the fluid level and it was low, looks like air got into the line, no leaks anywhere under or in the car and the fluid level didn't drop after I topped up the reservoir.

I tried pressurizing the fluid reservoir and then cracked the nipple on the slave cylinder, but nothing came out. Next I got an oil can, filled it with brake fluid and connected it to the slave nipple to pump fluid up into the reseroir.

When I pump the can nothing much seems to happen, I pump and it's not filling the reservoir and it's not leaking out around the slave nipple (a tiny bit leaked around the nipple as you might expect, but not much).

One thing I did notice is when I put my finger over end of the hose attached to the pump can it doesn't produce enough pressure to shoot it past my finger, so it's likely not producing enough pressure to push it through the line up to the reservoir.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks
