Can't fully clean out Master Cyl reservoir
Seems to be a two-part chamber with only a thin, vertical slit joining the two chambers about 1/2" off the bottom allowing fluid to pass in between when it reaches above the minimum level mark. I've been able to remove the BF from the chamber under the filler cap, but a half inch remains in the other chamber with no way to get it out short of removing the entire assembly, plugging 4 hoses and turning it upside down. I'd just fill it with sacrificial fluid and bleed but the stuff looks pretty dark and nasty...anybody seen this before? What did you do?

Get as much out as you can with a turkey baster then just flush the rest.

I had a similar problem recently on a non-Porsche and couldn't resolve it. Sucked out all I could. (I was flushing 10 year old fluid) Had pretty fluid at the calipers but the reservoir stayed dingy. I left it, after-all, it wasn't a Porsche! Ken
