[DeTomaso] Clutch master and slave fluid

Mike is talking about the clutch master and slave, not the brakes.  So
the question is are the seals in the clutch system compatible with
mineral oil or are they the same material as brake seals?   Both were
designed for brake fluid but a clutch system is a lower temperature
application.
