Check the slave cylinder for leakage. If there is none, pull back the dust cover on the slave cylinder. If no fluid comes out, the problem is in the master cylinder. This is pretty much the classic s

It sounds as if this is something nobody has tried. I'll venture an opinion, based on some experience trailering horses, fwiw. I can't think of any reason why this is not, in general, feasible. But t

Funny this should come up. I have been annoyed by the quality of some of the rubber gaskets that come with things like reproduction rear view mirrors. The rubber turns soft and deteriorates quickly.
