It sounds like you are on the right track. The clutch shares the same reservoir with the brake master cylinder. There is a hose that goes off from that to the clutch master cylinder. The slave cylinder is inside the bell housing. The bleed port is on top of the bell housing. It helps to remove the air filter housing and air intake to the throttle body to find it. Once you know where it is, you may be able to find it without, but you may still prefer to remove it.

Bleeding is similar to bleeding the brakes, but the pedal will never become hard like a brake pedal. If you have someone pumping the pedal for you, have them pump several times then hold the pedal down while you crack the bleeder open, then close the bleeder before they release the pedal. You will need to do this several times. You may also have a faulty master or slave, but they don't seem to give much trouble.
