And also the higher viscosity fluid will help mitigate leakage? Would it be save to assume that if the fluid is topped off that the clutch will not sink to the floor?

Your whole system - CMC, lines, CSC - has bad fluid in it and it needs to be completely flushed/replaced. Just topping off the CMC will be, at best, a temporary band-aid.
In addition to being less effective as a hydraulic fluid, your fluid contains "dirt" that will erode seals in the CMC and CSC.
