Nope, that's transmission fluid.

What the OP needs is the location of the bleed screw for the clutch hydraulic system. The screw is at the base of the slave cylinder, opposite where the hard line comes in at the top of the cylinder housing.

Be sure to protect the lower painted section of the front bumper; the brake fluid used will ruin it given a chance.

The brake/clutch fluid should preferably be clear or close to it. The clutch system doesn't hold much fluid and a little bottle of it should be enough to completely flush it out. I do mine once a year or so.

Just keep the clutch reservoir from running dry (good way is to make sure it stays above MIN) then pump the clutch pedal. Just run a hose to the nipple on the slave cylinder down to a container (I used a coke can). You don't have to worry about opening and closing the bleeder like when you're bleeding your brakes...
