[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16511169, member: 9628"] Well from your description and the picture I have added to this thread, it sounds like the brake fluid itself, as is noted in the link that I posted. If the system is sealed and no other foreign material has entered the system (dirt ect.), and the system is not rusted because it is stainless, then the only other option is the breakdown of the fluid itself as is outlined in the copy and paste I added....there are no other options since the system is closed...... This amplifies how important it is to keep good/clean fluid in our brake systems which also equates to the clutch system, as much of it that can be flushed..... As far as I know, the brake fluid that is used in the clutch system will Never get back into the brake system because of its lower level, as I said, "gravity works", so once that nasty fluid gets into the clutch system, there is no way to get it out other than adding the Mcleod clutch flush fitting that I showed in pictures. If you do not have that clutch flush fitting installed, then the "old/contaminated" fluid is going to make its way to your separated clutch master reservoir every time you use your clutch pedal.......which is many times on these manual trans. cars...Once you flush the clutch system to the bell housing location with the McLeod bleeder, the fluid that is pushed back into your separated clutch reservoir when you take your foot off the clutch pedal will stay cleaner. Flushing the short TOB line inside the bell housing??? That is a different issue, but it is wayyyy down stream from the separated clutch m/c reservoir. R [/QUOTE]
