Yep. Asked them via email. Waiting for reply. If this is the case something to bare in mind - alignment after slave and accumulator change needed.

It's a black round ball looking thing close to the top of the transmission on the drivers side. When under the car get between the drivers side rear wheel and transmission and look up.

Can be. BTW, if it's a CPO car some dealers may cover it as a good will. Slave is covered by default CPO coverage. This thread should help on the DIY:
