Subject:Brake/Clutch ?

Hey all! I have gathered that the clutch and brakes share a common fluid
res. am I correct in this? If so then I have a question or two. Since I put
this vanagon on the road , about 2500 miles ago I have had to pump the
brakes one time to get the pedal hard. ( well I don't have to , but it was
halfway down before it got hard , so  I pumped it once) I haven't been the
primary driver of my pride and joy. However, last night I happened to take
"milton" for a spin. I was shocked, the clutch was almost on the floor! How
do you adjust this silly thing? I looked in the Bently and it looks as
though all you can do is "pressure bleed" the system. OK, if this needs to
be done then , do I need to do the brakes too? Or is there something else to
try first? ( the clutch used to be closer to the top) Where it belongs.
