Thanks yeah, i guess that's the best way to proceed. Would it be a bad idea to flush with LV fluid (ATE SL.6)? I'm pretty sure it is compatible with ATE 200. I guess the only thing is I'd have ATE 200 in most of the brake system, then the SL.6 in the clutch lines. The mixing would dilute the LV feature but maybe resolve my issue?

First of all, to my knowledge, LV brake fluids are not recommended for pre 2005 Porsche vehicles.

I would suggest getting some fresh ATE 200 and access to a Motive bleeder and flush both your brakes an clutch systems until whatever fluid is in there is gone from the common fluid system they share. The Motive system is particularly good for these types of flushes as it pushes new fluid to force out the old.
