The slave never leaked at all. when I replaced it, I found the mirror image slave so the bleeder valve points up. 6200 miles and thousands of shifts, no leaks ever from the slave. The master formed a dripping leak at the seals on the plunger on the inside of the cockpit after about 5000 miles, the new master (identical unit) is working fine. I do have header wrap on my headers, but no other heat protection. I have never had any clutch or brake fluid failure due to heat or any other reason. This is not a difficult system. Header wrap or ceramic coating is a good idea regardless of the clutch or brake systems. Less heat under the hood is always a good thing.

tfarhood, can you tell me where to find the mirror slave cylinder? Thanks
