As others have said do the slave as well and replace the flex. It's a pity
you can't flush the pipes with the old m/c but failing that tip some clean
fluid in the new m/c and flush the system then. To refil use an Eezi-Bleed
with very low pressure on the *slave*, only takes a couple of minutes to
fill the system apart from topping off, and you shouldn't need to bleed the
system.
