Default TO bearing/ Slave failure pics

I searched on here I came across a lot of threads where M6 owners were having issues and were unsure if it was the throw out bearing, slave, or just a hydraulic problem. So here is my story...
At the end of last season I was running T&T one Friday night. On my 3rd pass I noticed a strange feeling in the clutch and had a hard time shifting into 4th. As I pulled away with my time slip the clutch had started to engage about 1" from the floor and I hear this awful squeal coming from under the car. I'm waiting for my friend to show up with a trailer and I can actually watch what's left of my clutch fluid running out of the hole in the bell housing. Pulled the tranny the next day and this is what I saw....

The hydraulics put into these cars suck. This alone is the only reason I don't miss the WS6.
