a small leak
well im borrowing this info from another place but here you go
2.4L Engine (With Turbo)
From driver’s seat, actuate clutch pedal 60–100
times. Verify clutch operation/pedal feel. If pedal still
feels spongy, or clutch does not fully disengage,
excessive air is still trapped within the system. Perform
the following procedure:
(1) Verify fluid level in clutch master cylinder reservoir.
Top off with DOT 3 brake fluid as necessary.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Remove clutch slave cylinder/damper assembly
from the transaxle case (Fig. 5), but do not disconnect
from the hydraulic system. Lift nylon tab
with a small screwdriver, and then depress cylinder
inward towards case and rotating cylinder 60°
counter-clockwise. Allow the slave cylinder hang,
making it the lowest part of the system.
(4) Depress slave cylinder pushrod until it bottoms
and then release. Repeat this at least ten (10) times,
forcing trapped air upwards and out of the system.
(5) Install clutch slave cylinder into position, noting
orientation of different sized lugs. While depressing
inward, rotate slave cylinder clockwise until nylon locating tab rests in transaxle case cutout, and
the hydraulic tube is vertical (Fig. 5).
(6) Lower vehicle.
(7) Check and adjust clutch master cylinder fluid
level. Actuate clutch pedal thirty (30) times. Verify
clutch operation/pedal feel. If pedal still feels spongy,
or clutch does not fully disengage, air is still trapped
within the system. Repeat Step 3 - Step 7 until air is purged. If several attempts at purging air from the
system are unsuccessful, replace both the clutch master
cylinder and slave cylinder assemblies.
(8) Raise vehicle.
(9) Lower vehicle.
(10) Top off clutch master cylinder fluid level with
DOT 3 brake fluid as necessary.
CAUTION: While slave cylinder is detached from the
transaxle, DO NOT actuate the clutch master cylinder.
Damage to the slave cylinder will result.

The whole process of bleeding the slave took me 30 min the first time and 15 min the second time.
Ihad to remove the cold pipe from the throttle body to be able to turn the slave and get it out.
Has anyone takenslaveapart or is it sealed?
If it comes apart do you know what type/size the seal is inside.
