As a result, you connect the bleed nipples of the clutch slave and right front caliper and pump the brakes to bleed) I disconnected the supply line for the clutch master and dropped it in a plastic bottle. What came out was closer in consistency to water than DOT3/4 and had the appearance of well used motor oil...then it froze up entirely. New slave and master will be here wednesday, along with new radiator hoses, thermostat, oil filter and air filter.
