Default Anyone ever blow there Clutch master cylinder?

Well I just blew mine tonight went to pull up to a stop sign. Pushed the clutch pedal in and it went to the floor and stayed there. Poped the hood and there was fluid all over place by the brake booster and running out the bottom of the car. Damm and I thought that I was done towing my car for a while.

i've seen quite a few posts on this lately. how long since you flushed the brake system? iirc they share a common resoiver.

I never have...but I got the car when it had 27K on it and now has 50k and the fluid looks clean.

So it may have had the fluid changed the once not sure...guess I need to do it after the new clutch master.

And yes I did know that they share the same resvoir.

Default there's the time thing...

with 50 k on the car the brakes may never been done! so the chance the fluid is original. i didn't get my first set until 75 K. 6 yr is a long time for any fluid. some times i'm glad i drive 25 K a year!
