My brake master cylinder and my clutch slave cylinder have had no fluid in them for 6 months and effectively open to the air though plugged with tissue.

What’s the chances I will need new seals or worse please chaps.
Any one fancy taking a guess. My hope is by bleeding a lot of new fluid through on assembly I will rid the system of any residue and oil up seals at the same time.
Dry seals —- brakes,,,, not sure what I should do next!
Any advice appreciatedsmile

If you think they are gummed up then.......

Clutch slave. Replace it because they don't cost much in the grand scheme.

Brake master...Replace because it is safety critical.
