If no joy with mineral oil try cooking oil, olive oil or ATF.
Have used cooking oil before for quite a while when I was stuck.
Hope it helps.
Dave.

I would imagine the cooking oil, corn oil, olive oil all will work for quite some time. I have also heard that fork oil will work. I tossed my KTM clutch slave in the trash for just this reason.

Citroen hydraulic fluid will also work.
After that episode, I replaced it with a slave from Oberon -excellent.
Hope this helps

Citroen hydraulic fluid and baby oil are the two alternatives that I have heard of. Hope you get sorted soon.
cheers

Exact, oxydation de l'aluminium par effet de piqûres (ou corrosion aqueuse).
Symlptôme atypique d'un manque de fréquence de vidange du circuit de l'embrayage par aspiration.
Mettre autre liquide (Citroen fluide hydraulique) que type motorex (huile végétale anti oxydant) oxydation plus rapide--->support o ring h.s.
Bien à vous
