@Rob Fridenberg posted:Clutch master fluid turns black when the master seals are going bad. I bought a new master one year ago, reservoir has leaked since day one and after 500 miles of driving my fluid is turning black. I will be requesting another exchange. Fwiw, clutch slave is also leaking after 500 miles. Not sure who is making these garbage replacement parts. Frustrating doing things over and over.
A year ago my other Pantera got the clutch master that leaks at the reservoir. When I bought it I already knew it would probably leak. I fixed it by swapping reservoirs with an old clutch master. No more leak and it looks fine. It does not release black residue into the fluid at this time. The photo below shows how it looks in the car with the old non-leaking reservoir in place.
