The piece with the rubber cap, on the slave cylinder.

Is on your gearbox under the battery tray.

not being thick but i don't know where the bleed nipple is on the mk1 sporting
i got told off by some1 else is the rubber bit on da slave cylinder but i fount this thin thing on the back of the cylinder is it that what i think it is
1) please stop hijacking unrelated threads.
2) you've seen two pictures of slave cylinders, how can you not now know what one looks like and identify a bleed nipple? 9 times out of 10 the rubber cap will have been left off (the nipple on) old slave cylinders.
3) you may need to specify 1.6 8V Sporting or 1.2 16V Sporting in future and post in the related section.
4) if your slave cylinder isn't like the Bendix ones above, a picture might be necessary as your English usage and description doesn't help.

It's not a big problem, don't worry. Just try to include all relevant details and browse/search the correct section, as well as the FAQs, for a solution first.
Bleeding the clutch or brakes is a two person job unless you have an automatic, pressurised fluid supply kit. Any bleed nipple has a hole in the end and a 6-sided flat section to open/close the flow with a spanner. You should connect a clear length of piping to the nipple and lead this to a clear container with a little fluid in, so that you can see when the air bubbles stop.
I suggest you probably need to buy a Haynes manual for the Punto Mk.1, for the basic maintenance tasks, information etc., since this is your first experience with your car and self-maintenance.
