Up onto the ramps and dropped out the lube oil on the ZT, changed the filter and refilled with 6.75 litres of nice new stuff

I then decided the weep from the clutch master should be next.

Two clips removed pedal taken off, then pull back the boot to remove the circlip and the piston was out.

There was an obvious failing of the secondary seal on inspection, plus the non return valve was choked with debris, which accounted for the intermittent bite point, but the endoscope revealed a perfect bore.

One refurbished piston and a quick bleed then out for a test drive, a perfect pedal and smooth clutch once more

Once I've a little more time, I'll change the entire clutch including fitting the new master, but for the time being it's nigh enough for pit work
