Gravity is the way to go with these cars. Remove the slave, point the bleeder to the sky, let gravity do your work. You already know you gotta keep master full. Clutch will be solid once you are done.

Sounds cool, at 68yo, I've become a lazy wimp! I'll have to work up to rolling my aluminum jack under the car and removing the slave! Since I've retired, I can take my time in all
things, except running 3miles everyday!

Just got her jacked up and guess what. The slave is dripping a bit! I didn't think Honda parts like this broke before 150K!
I don't know if rebuild kits are available, I just used to give slave cylinders a light hone and pop in new rubber, time to look!

Make sure its not just the bleeder, or the banjo fitting.

Clutch master leak is a fairly common issue.
