Default bad slave?

i have a bolt on formula and it would ocassionally need to have the clutch fluid resevior filled but the past two weeks i have had to fill it up completely after it sits over the weekends. i noticed the other day that it is leaking break fluid and now im thinking i might as well go ahead and buy an ls7 clutch kit to go with my new slave. i hear that break fluid can really eat away clutches and mine is stock and has 80k so i think ill replace it anyways.


heres a picture im almost positive its the slave but id like yalls advise too.
thanks
ben

Yeah from what you have said it's the slave. It could also be a rear main seal, the fluid looks dark.

i really dont think its the rear main seal, the fluid seems to just be really dirty. if break fluid went through a dirty dusty clutch area. if it were oil it sure doesnt smell or feel like oil does

I bet its the slave. I just replaced my rear main seal and it was much worst that that. Your starter would also be covered in oil. Tear it apart and let the games begin!!!
