The '60 TR3 that I am working on has a very mangled tag on the Brake/Clutch Master reservoir that says "Silicone Oil Only". Just prior to my friend purchasing the car, the PO's mechanic replaced a leaking Clutch Slave. I was able to speak to him and asked what kind of brake fluid was used in the car and he stated that he put DOT 3 in when he changed the clutch slave. Looking in the reservoir the fluid looks very cloudy with a very gray look to it. The other thing that has me wondering what is going on is the fact the clutch master just up and failed yesterday. I have to pump it up and the shaft is leaking out into the pan under the windshield wiper motor.
I have done a lot of searching here and can't really seem to find a thread addressing this issue, but I am sure it has been beat to death. Where do I need to go with this, completely bleed the entire system with either dot 3 or silicone fluid (I assume dot 5) or does it need to be rinsed out with alcohol, or what?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
