So the slave cylinder failed on the Eunos far from home and all I had was power steering fluid, I filled the reservoir with it and it got us home no problem. Bought a new slave cylinder and some clutch fluid and pumped all the fluid out until it was just hissing air, I then took a clean rag to the insides of the reservoir until it was clean as a whistle. Filled with clutch fluid and thoroughly bled the system, once done I could see a tiny swirl of red in the fresh fluid, over a few days its now tinted the fluid red - anyone know how much of a problem this might be if I leave it in until I get some time to try and flush it out a bit better?

I have done work on a range rover where the owner used power steering fluid in brakes and it's was a nightmare to flush. Also kept popping the seals in the cylinders. Don't know if this was coincidence or not.
I would personally sort it asap for peace of mind

Hi, I know it is a bit late now, but in the past I have used water.
