Clutch bleeding info?

I'm wanting to bleed & replace the brake fluid on the four corners of my 58 FL2.
Does anyone know where the clutch bleed nipple is located? As I thought I'd bleed that whilst I was on.
Stating the obvious, do I need to use dot4?

Many thanks Thumbs Up Landy has now gone.

It's on the Slave Cylinder, but don't know if you can get to it as to change the Slave Cylinder it is advised to do with the Clutch as its a Gearbox out job. Best be is follow the pipe from the Master Cylinder down to the Gearbox and see what you find.

Do you think it would be OK to gravity bleed the clutch nipple? Once I've found it. As I did so on my Astra H, as it was on a dead leg. Bled the 4 corners in a conventional manner. On my Astra it was tucked away under the battery area, hard to find.
Thanks for info & diagram. Landy has now gone.

The bleed screw No11 is external to the clutch housing, just before the pipe (No10) enters the housing to the slave cylinder as AD1234 has posted, recommended fluid is SHELL DONAX YB DOT4 ESL FLUID.

EYorkshire,
Many thanks Thumbs Up
Looking back at the previous history. Don't think the clutch & brake fluid has been changed for 70k, from new. I shall get around to doing it, once I have a day of work & a dry day. Bring out the high lift trolley jack. Tried once with my usual trolley jack, wouldn't lift high enough Laughing Landy has now gone.
