[Healeys] Clutch master cylinder failure

[david porter]

I'd disagree here. If one changes the distance the piston is moved it is
very likely that crude from the ten year lack of maintenance was pushed
under the lip of the cone seal and has now started to leak, but it could be
coincidental too.

Not likely.  Pure coincidence, I'd guess.
