I would assume that the fluid currently in the system has a lower viscosity and has been degraded since its been temperature cycled and that if it is replaced with brand new, higher viscosity, fluid that the fluid pressure will be higher resulting in higher clutch pressure? 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.
