I can't believe that I've admitted to not wiping my bottom properly and having such a dirty ring!
Disappointed to learn that the black silt lives on in the slave after a bleed.
The silt is so very fine and easily mixes into the fluid in a cloud with a little agitation, hence why it turns the res' black in a short while with the jiggling of the pot on the flexible handlebar mount.. Like some sort of mini cocktail shaker.
I'm just wondering if taking the slave off the cases and giving it a good shake, maybe even bleeding it upside down with the nipple at the bottom, would help clear any sludge trapped in there?
As for chain goo getting past the seals... I doubt it as brake fluid is so much thinner than chain lube, surely it would leak out before chain lube leaked in. besides which the fluid is under positive pressure most of the time and hardly, if ever in negative pressure.
The slave is fairly well shielded from the chain fling by a case saver on mine.
