Clutch Slave
Yup, what I meant to say. I just read my post again and noticed I said master cylinder. + 1 on if it was working and got worked on and quit. The "repair" might be the problem.

Duck Butter
The milky beige is caused most likely by water pump seal failure. Fresh oil on top comes from the pressure side of the system, gasket failure.

At this point, the coil and the relays are in the way. I'm thinking most of that can go in the tool box area since the tools are now located in the bags.
