There is a bleed screw on the clutch slave cylinder. If you know how to bleed brakes you know how to bleed the hydraulic clutch. I suggest you replace the whole fluid. While you are at it do the brake fluid too. In my Mazda Protege the reservoir for the clutch is the front chamber of the brake fluid reservoir.
There is a picture of a slave cylinder:
