Rebuild them both. Single bleed. Good for another 25 years

If I hold the clutch in for too long the pedal begins  to sink and I lose  
pedal pressure. If I let the pedal up and repress  it, it works fine.   
There 
are no external leaks so I'm assuming  that the master or the slave is  
leaking by internally.  Time for  a rebuild?  Probably been close to 25  
yrs. 
since they were  rebuilt.
Thanks, Mark L

Hey, Mark:

Been there, done that.   Yep...the seal in one or both cylinders is 
bypassing fluid.  I'll bet you  could squeeze the dust boots of both the slave and 
master and get fluid to drip  out of one/both of them.  I've had good luck 
building my cylinders over the  years, unless they are badly pitted.  
Usually, though, a little emory cloth  will do the trick.  

Good luck,
Andy Walker
