I believe the slave is inside the flywheel /gearbox housing
My manual says "the internal slave cylinder cannot be removed with the transmission in place" & even more unhelpful it says:"The clutch release bearing is integral with the slave cylinder"

Thanks marg99, not a great design but surely there must be a bleeder somewhere.
What manual do you have?

I have the UK Haynes manual for the diesel models The set up is strange as you say because they have no separate clutch fluid reservoir and use the brake one

Is it specifically for our LV or LT model?

It covers a range of diesel focus cars but includes the LT diesel which was the first we had here. at the time there was no Australian specific manual. Look them up on line Haynes.com
