Apparently after my recent fluid drain/flush from the clutch slave cylinder, the strain was too much for the 23-year old seals and the slave started leaking. I read online that if you replace the slave you might as well bite the bullet and do the master too as it won’t be far behind to fail.
So I bought new cylinders and put them in. The slave was no problem other than having to pull the starter again. The master was another story. the tiny bolts holding it on were a royal pain to get to, much less get on and off. Then you have to bleed everything again, including the brakes, which are on the same hydraulic system.
This time I decided to bleed the clutch the old fashioned way, with someone pumping the pedal while I was under the car working the bleed screw on the slave cylinder.
Put everything back together and did a road test and everything seemed happy.
