I have read all the threads on the clutch slave and I believe I am going to change mine this week. My only concern is when i am looking at the lines and the slave itself everything is dry. I traced all the lines from the clutch/brake reservoir to the slave, to all brakes, and they are all dry. All the fluid is dripping from the bottom of the bell-housing. The top and sides of the bell-housing are dry. I even looked at the steel line that goes over the trans and it is dry. Is this normal?
