Default Quick question about replacing clutch fluid

I read in a thread about a tornado coming up into the master cylinder from out of the line while replacing clutch fluid, something about a leak in the slave seal or something like that. What does that swirly black tornado mean, trouble? I can't find the thread, it was about some guy who removed the diaphragm in his MC.

Thanks!

I have not heard of this. The best way to replace the clutch fluid in your system is to just bleed the system the normal way, filling up the reservoir with new, fresh fluid everytime is gets low. Just keep an eye on the color of the fluid coming out the slave bleeder if you can when it starts coming out clear, you know you've gotten most of the old fluid out (assuming the old fluid was shot in the first place, of course).
