Yeah I agree. So what do you think if I turkey baster remove the dot 3 from just the reservoir and add in some dot 4? (meaning not bleeding it out of the line again). Would this be worth it, or just leave the DOT 3? I just dont want to redo the process again

Do that, and go with a short interval before you bleed again. Don't worry too much about it. The CSC will fail either way.

There's no question about it, unfortunately. If you have an OEM plastic slave cylinder, one day you will be forced to replace it. Either you have replaced one, or you will. Honestly, go ahead and buy the HD replacement and mothball it. One day you'll be glad you had it on hand.
