Your is a `95 Section, no?  On all Sections, the port in the case for the
clutch slave cylinder bleeder screw is a direct opening into the magneto
case.  The Fantic engine design predates the use of the more conventional
clutch slave cylinder on the side opposite the clutch.  Instead of being
outside as with most makes, the clutch slave cylinder is inside the
magneto case.  

If you want a true seal of the case (not including the sintered bronze
vent, which should not be sealed), you have to seal that hole as well. 
either tape over it, or seal around the rubber plug thing normally found
there.

Also, if you bleed your clutch, you can get brake fluid inside the case,
which will eat the paint in there.  You can bleed with the flywheel cover
off, then wash the whole thing out and let dry, then seal and put the
cover back on.
