As I said in my PM - there have been many changes to the clutch mechanism & we don't know which one you have.
Follow the pipework. Fluid goes from reservoir via tube 60 through the firewall & to the master cylinder - 10. It comes out of the master cylinder in pipe 80 - Pipe 80 connects to pipe 110 - At the end of pipe 110 you will find the slave cylinder. I hope it is accessible.
Trace the pipework & you should be OK.
It is not really necessary to bleed the clutch but I know you are trying to be thorough.

Thanks for this post, Glyn. I've changed out my brake fluid, but didn't bleed the master and slave for the clutch due to time constraints.
Are they reverse/pressure bled? Meaning, is the fluid forced through the bleeder valve on the slave to go up to the main reservoir? I used to improvise on old Audis by running a hose from the driver's side brake caliper, over to the slave cylinder for the clutch, then opening both valves and pumping the brake pedal. Fluid flows out of the caliper, then into the clutch hydraulics. Pull the portion of fluid in the reserve, then add clean stuff.
