My 505s just did this, the slave cyl couldn't be easier to remove, rebuild and reinstall. You will however, have to bleed it using the left front brake caliper to generate fluid pressure for removal of the air from the clutch plumbing.

Rob Courter of Dallas Texas gave me prompt parts service with this issue. He is on this list.

Now the master cyl on mine is leaking, but parts are on the way for that, too.
