replacing the clutch flexible rubber hose on my 95' Toyota P.U.

What is your question?

My clutch flexible rubber hose I believe is the culprit to my clutch slippage. My fluid reservoir is dropping very very very slowly but a eyeball on the hose shows it very well be the culprit. Now to my question, when I pull off the old hose will I lose just a bit of fluid ?, after I install the new hose can the air be bled from the line nut at the reservoir or at the hose connection or both ? Tell me what the best way to bleed the air, is it similar to bleeding brake lines ? Thanks in advance Mark
