Location of clutch bleeder screw?

I'm looking for the clutch bleeder screw on a 2007 base Fit. I think I found it along a pressurized metal tube on the front-side of the engine, just aft of the lower radiator hose (which has a yellow paint marking at about the right spot):

Clutch bleeder is ON the body of the clutch slave cylinder.
It may or may not have a rubber dust cap on it.


Same bleeders as used on the brakes.

Thanks. I follow the fluid from the reservoir, through a pressure hose down to a round thing mounted on the driverside wheel well firewall, a bit smaller than a hockey puck, which I think is the master cylinder. That has a second hose which transitions from rubber to metal a few inches away, and travels to the forward side of the engine. There, I think I see the slave cylinder. It looks like this:

Duralast Clutch Slave Cylinder CS2619 - Read Reviews on Duralast #CS2619

except that where the accordion rubber boot is in the photo, mine has a huge rubber shroud (almost like a sock) which turns 90 degrees and runs down to the transmission. It does have a rubber-capped bleeder valve.

Pretty sure that's it, but I couldn't find online pictures showing the exact location. I had read some descriptions of needing to remove the battery and airbox, or the coolant reservoir, but on my Fit, this is very accessible.

I dunno if I’m crazy or not. But I can’t seem to locates the bleeder screw. My fluid is black and I want to change it since I have left over fluid from bleeding the brakes yesterday.

Is the bleeder screw on the front of the engine in the middle? Behind the fat ass rad hose?

It's item #1 in the above diagram for what it's worth.
