About six hours ago I went down to my friends' where the Z currently is, and wanted to use the above technique. However, with no one around and the Z just sitting outside, I checked up on it and stepped on the pedal. Pressure! I noticed the reservoir level dropped a bit too. I got a turkey baster and siphoned out the old fluid in the reservoir (pretty nasty stuff) and added fresh fluid, then proceeded to slowly pump. I took it out for a ten minute drive and the engagement was a bit sloppy but still OK. I park it, then take a quick break. I tried to drive it again to absolutely no avail, and it seems the pedal got a bit softer again (although still kinda stiff).

I didn't do anything to it yet, so I'll finally get some daylight, properly flush the entire system, then deliver a verdict.
