Getting a small hose onto the nipple would be ideal so that you can "direct" the fluid out of the access hole.The system is designed to be self-pressurizing, so you can "dump" the fluid out of that nipple while replacing it at the reservoir (using the clutch to pump it slowly) and then do up the nipple when you're "happy" with the fluid colour coming out of the CSC and then you pump the pedal slowly and consistently for a few minutes with the cap off the reservoir and it should bubble out the air trapped in the system.Leaving it overnight and trying again is another good idea to help the system self-pressurize.Ideally you'd remove the gearbox and fit a remote bleed line and an alloy CSC while you're there (then you can do a proper bleed) ->http://www.malwoodauto.com.au/index.php?page=hydraulic_slave_cylindersClutch fluid can be any DOT 4 hydraulic fluid, realistically.
