OOOh, sounds a bit like a selector fork :(

Clutch slave, 2 bolts plus the piep which is a b***** sometimes

Master, 2 bolts plus the ecentric bolt on the pedal.

When installed you may have to blled form the pipe union on the master for a while, otherwise you'l be there all night.

On my 200 I had the same problem - it was the rigid pipe from the damper to the slave.  The vibration of the engine had fractured the flare inside the fitting at one end - the leak was unnoticeable for ages.

A pain when 150 miles from your flaring kit!   But a very nice man in Grantham re-flared it for me FOC.

Obviously it's contaminated, grease possibly?

Brake fluid up to dot 4 IIRC (non-silicone based) is hygroscopic/miscible so will 'absorb' water.
