I have a 2002 Ford Ezxplorer. The clutch pedal has NO pressure. I noticed that there was a slight (6 to 10 drops) amount of leakage trailing from the rubber cover plug on the transmission. I am hoping that I can just "bleed" the system (as done for brakes) to temporarily put a bandaid on the problem (realizing that if it is leaking - it needs to be replaced, just not today!). Do you concur and can I get a pictorial of the system as well as a written explanation of the procedure.

It can't be repaired by bleeding the system. It sounds like the slave cylender is bad.
