[QUOTE="XP900, post: 16561223, member: 199546"] I don't think the brake master cylinder and clutch master cylinder work exactly the same. Brake fluid in the brake system reservoir usually doesn't get mixed much with the fluid in the system and it acts more like a supply when needed, probably a small channel to the reservoir supply. In the clutch system it seems that the piston may travel back further when the pedal is released allowing a larger volume area where the new and old fluids can intermix more compared to a brake MC. I can see the dilution take place in the reservoir within a few days of driving and my reservoir color has already changed slightly. It can't be from any heat in the upper part of the system since that is from the MC up the supply line to the reservoir and that is pretty far from any real motor heat. Putting new fluid in the reservoir will work its way down to the slave but it is a slow process over time and pedal action and it is simply a dilution process ...not a flushing process. There's no reason to bleed because there is no air introduced as long as the supply line does not go dry. Once the pedal is pushed slightly and the piston moves in a little, the opening channel to the supply line is closed and the hydraulic pressure can then start, forcing the mixed solution into the hydraulic line.
