I parked my truck for awhile and when I went to move it the clutch had no presseue on the pedal and the clutch cylinder was dry.I know it must have a leak so I was wondering how do you bleed the slave cylinder and if it is bad what is the steps in changing this,thanks

External or internal slay cylinder?
Bleeder should be on top of external or on side of clutch housing for the internal slaycylinder.
On way to bleed is gravity bleed. Fill master cylinder and leave cap off and the open slay cylinder bleeder and let it run out bleeder.
Sometimes to get gravity bleed started you have to hold down clutch pedal and open bleeder and then close and repeat a couple of times.
Let us know how it goes.

I finally got it working by bleeding it,but the clutch cylinder where you add fluid to will be empty overnight.There is no leak that I can find with the hose or slave cylinder.I do not know where it is going,thanks
