I've replaced and helped replace a few slave cylinders in my years of Fiat ownership, but I've never seen one do this...
Replaced the master cylinder internals after the pedal went to the floor on an already suspect cylinder only to find the spring was fine. Cleared out the battery and battery tray and found this sight under it.
A new slave cylinder later and now I've discovered it's basically impossible to bleed using the two-person system. Loads of fluid through, no bubbles but only about 8mm travel on the piston so guessing air hidden in the system. Positive pressure bleed kit on order and hope this is the last of it asince it's bleedin' cold out there!
