Clutch-ing at straws

Daft questio probably - my S2 clutch squeals in wet weather. Pumping the pedal sorts it which leads me to suspect the fluid needs changing. It’s full in the reservoir.

so where the heck is the bleed point? Can’t see a nipple on the clutch cylinder where I would expect on
 
...or it could be the release bearing squealing and pumping the clutch just actuates it more, so it stops? [;)]
 
It could be but I’d really prefer it to be damp old fluid not allowing it to release fully….

and still need to work where the bleed point is
 
If you attempt to bleed the circuit I suggest doing it from below, injecting fresh fluid with a syringe from the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder. First remove enough fluid from the tank to give room for the new fluid being added. This is in my opinion the best way to bleed the clutch. Once there is no more bubble showing in the tank when pushing fluid from below then the circuit is bled.
