Tricks? Plug Smallcar bellhousing hydraulic connection?

[Sodo]

If you disconnect this from the slave unit, the fluid reservoir will drain out of it.
So you wanna plug it.
Who has a method to plug this connection?

This slave actuator/bearing unit is used in some 300+ VW models for more than 20 years.
SOMEBODY must have a decent trick to plug this (by now). ??

OK the solution made itself known.
Good thing I didn't throw that old slave/throwout bearing away!
seeeeee..... this is what enables a hoarder.....

So here's a pic to help find a way to plug it.
This pic should help.

I cut the business end off the old slave/bearing, threaded the hole and plugged it with an M5 bolt.

Next I'm gonna section-cut that slave actuator to understand what's going on inside that mysterious device when it's over-extended.
(thread referring to Smallcar Bellhousing problem Smallcar bellhousing clutch options)
.....which Smallcar added a spacer (a limiter) on the master cylinder.
The spacer prevents damage to the slave/release/bearing unit but retains the clutch abruptness/feathering issue (that off-road drivers dislike).
Moving the clevis pivot hole restores butter-smooth clutch actuation.
