<div><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"><span class="213531623-09052015"> A very light coat of grease on
the push rod to prevent rust is one thing but it appears you have a
mess on your hands and it almost looks like the rubber seal on the slave
cylinder has deteriorated.</span></font></div>

<div><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"><span class="213531623-09052015">At the
very least you should remove the slave cylinder and rebuild
it.</span></font></div>

<div><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"><span class="213531623-09052015">I
would also check the master cylinder, probably rebuild that and I would check
and blow Brake Kleen or similar through the hard line.</span></font></div>

<div><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"><span class="213531623-09052015">When I
last went through my Master and slave cylinders and cleared the hard
line; I put in Silicone brake fluid.</span></font></div>

<div><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"><span class="213531623-09052015">I also
recommend putting safety wire on the push rod to the clutch arm just
in case something goes wrong with the system. This way you don't lose the
push rod.</span></font></div>
