Your clutch is not hydraulic but is supposed to self adjust. Try the procedure below to help it adjust. If it will not adjust, the clutch may be worn out. Fig. Fig. 8: Clutch self-adjusting system component identification for the 3.8L engine
ADJUSTMENT
Free-Play
See Figures 8, 9 and 10
The clutch free-play is adjusted automatically by a built-in clutch control mechanism. This device allows the clutch controls to self-adjust during normal operation.
The system consists of a spring-loaded gear quadrant, a spring-loaded pawl and a clutch cable which is spring-loaded to preload the release lever bearing. This compensates for movement of the release lever, as the clutch disc wears. The pawl, located at the top of the clutch pedal, engages the gear quadrant when the clutch pedal is depressed and pulls the cable through its continuously adjusted stroke. Clutch cable adjustments are not required because of this feature.
CHECKING ADJUSTMENT
The self-adjusting feature should be checked every 5,000 miles (8,000 km). This is accomplished by ensuring that the clutch pedal travels to the top of its upward position. Grasp the clutch pedal with your hand or put your foot under the clutch pedal, and pull up on the pedal until it stops. Very little effort is required (about 10 lbs./4.5 kg). Finally, depress the clutch pedal and listen for an audible "click.'' If you hear a sound, the clutch was in need of adjustment, and it has just adjusted itself.
Yes it should be on the drivers side right by the hood henge on the fire wall sould be a small white plastic resivor with a screw on lid (beside the brake master cylnder)and a rubber hose coming out of the bottom of it and it takes dot3 brake fluid....hope it helps

The clutch system is hydraulic just like your brakes are. You have a slave cylinder and a master cylinder. You must have a leak somewhere, and will have to see what part it is, or have it looked at. Once replaced, the system needs to be bled of air just like brakes do.

Hi:
You need to check the fluid level in your clutch master cylinder. If it is low or empty, check for where the leak is. The clutch slave cylinder is mounted to the side of the transmission. You can try bleeding the system too, but most likely one of the two cylinders has failed internally, and needs replaced

The clutch system on this generation of Mustang is NOT hydraulic, it is operated by a cable. Only refer to Jeff Turcotte's answer for the correct solution.
