bleed clutch?

Last time my mechanic had my car he said he needed to pump the clutch a few times to get it stiff like it has been, tells me I should bleed the clutch so ok I would but I dont know where to look for this valve at...I assume its exactly like bleeding brakes right?
(yes I did search for it but I didnt come up with anything saying where the valve is)
Now I havent had many issues with the car but Im starting to think if there's air in the line it'd explain a lot, like the clutch not wanting to fully disengage, its done this probably 3 times that I can recall and every time after that my clutch would slip a bit from it being heated up. When I first got it the resivoir was empty (really close to empty possibly) I got it right after my friend did the clutch on it, he said he broke something putting everything back together (think it was the slave cyl?) so that got replaced then too.

Last time I drove it it felt like my front brakes werent really connecting (the pads are good) It felt like I was using the Ebrake to stop. so Im curious, is there any way all of this is related somehow?

it's suspose to be a gravity bleed. i never had much, if any, luck using the "approved" method and instead did a reverse bleed with a pheniox injector.
