Front of transmission, just to the passenger side of the exhaust manifold. Has a hard line going to it, held on by 2 bolts, and has a rubber boot/cover where the slave cylinder piston touches the clutch release fork.
Have someone sit in the car and press the clutch pedal, you'll see it moving.

correct. The current fluid is probably dirty and/or fill with air. You don't have to remove the slave cylinder to bleed it, there's a bleeder screw on it for that. But if you need to remove it, here ya go:

No, just crack it open.
Here's what I do to bleed the clutch line, very easy to do by yourself.
1. Attach a clear hose to the bleeder screw and run it down into a container with clean brake fluid sitting on the ground. You might have to jack the car up to do this.
2. Remove reservoir cap and make sure it's full. Top it off with fresh fluid if needed.
3. Crack open bleeder screw. 1/4 turn is plenty.
4. Manually pump clutch pedal with your hand. It will be easy since the bleeder screw is open. Pump it a few times, then refill the reservoir. It's not like brakes where it builds up pressure, so there's no need to hold the pedal down like when bleeding brakes.
5. Repeat the process until you only see fresh fluid in the hose on the bleeder screw.
On my car, it takes 12 pumps of the pedal to nearly empty the reservoir. I pump 12 times, then refill the reservoir. Pump 12 times, etc. Very easy to do. Then close up the bleed screw and you're done.

Crack open the green arrow. Blue arrow is the hard line where the fluid enters the slave cylinder.
I would use a container and a tube, just to make sure no air is sucked back into the system while the bleeder is opened.

did you do it until it didnt push out anymore air bubbles? and did you try adjusting your clutch pedal? whats the problem like, is it just loose? or does it grab weird?
