Should use jack oil, but you can use transmission fluid if you have to. 10W motor oil works also.
hydraulic clutch does not have adjustment. replace the clutch it has a slave cylinder underneath and what you do is pump up the clutch and then hold it and have somone turn the line going itno th slave cylinder until you have clear fluid that is not how you bleed a clutch to the jeep owner, if you know how to bleed brakes on a vehicle, then you know how to bleed the clutch on a vehicle both done the same way.now if no parts of the clutch, such as master or slave cylander have been touched or let run out of fluid, there is still no need to bleed as that will not be the problem you might look at the linkage on the slave cylander. sometimes there is nylon bushing on the cylander rod that wears out. replace this bushing which is easy to do and your clutch will be good again.
Take top cover off of jack and there should be a rubber plug or a single screw that you take out to fill jack .
The floor jack could have leaking seals. Or the jack could be low on fluid, or the pressure release screw might not be closing properly.
Just make it snug with an open end wrench and bleed the line to remove air (make sure fluid reserve does not get low while bleeding).
