Correct, the pressure bleeder is on the reservoir just like it is for the brakes. I have seen/felt no downside to my doing it this way. Clutch still feels fine afterwards and the clutch bleeder screw always produces the dirtiest fluid of them all. I don't think I would want to push that dirty fluid back up into the reservoir? Does not the pressure force out any air if there was some just as with the brakes?
