At the very least you should remove the slave cylinder and rebuild it.

Subject: [Tigers] Clutch slave cylinder - is the bad gunk?
All,
Found my clutch fluid mysteriously gone and this is what the slave =
cylinder
looked like - it had been through a number of hands getting from UK to =
USA
(and coast to coast USA as well).
Is the the gunk which forms when mixing fluids?
Trying to decide exactly how bad my problem is ...
Cheers in advance,
