Default Clutch bleeding help?!?

I have the obvious symptoms of air in the hydraulic lines and need to "power vac" bleed the lines and was wondering where I can pick up the pump and the appropriate adapter for the job... ? I know there was a thread about this but I couldn't find it. Also, I need to know the best fluid to use (synthetic? or not?) and where I can pick up anything I need... any write ups on it to? Cuz I have no idea where the resevoir even is? I have been all over the car and don't know where to look? Any help is much appreciated!!!!

Thanks guys!

Just to the right of the brake resevior , it's white and round about the size of a pill bottle top. It has a rubber diaphram in it that needs to be removed.

is there a fluid that doesn't boil as easy? Or is better than whatever is in there now?

DOT 4 or DOT 5 fluid has a higher boiling point.

Do not run DOT 5 in these systems. It is a silicon baised fluid and is not compatable with DOT 3/4/5.1.
