Yes. You have oil in the lines instead of brake fluid...

yes that is correct but when I bleed the clutch with brake fluid it don't spit out,only drips slow when it wants to.can it because I have air in the lines.

I would disconnect the brake lines at both ends, and clear the lines out with air.

its not my brakes.its the clutch line.when I bleed the clutch it don't spit out fluid when I pump the clutch pedel.its just a dead pedal right now and when I pump it so fluid can go thru the line nothing seems to flow.

chances are the seals inside the clutch master and slave cylinder are swollen up and damaged. you should replaced the master and slave and bleed it all over again.

it does not take long for the seals to get fugged up when you put petrolium based oil onto seals that were not designed for them.

the lines are fine as long and you purge all the oil out of them. replace the master and slave and flush really good with brake fluid.

^^^yeah oil will tear the rubber components of a hydro system up quick...if it was mine I would also do the rubber line, and I might even run a solvent threw the steel lines followed by lots of water followed by even more air. you'll kick yourself in the rear if you have to replace everything again in a couple of months because you didnt get it all out....dont you just hate doing stupid little things late at night that end up causing a huge headache the next day

.Use denatured alcohol to flush the lines, and also replace the rubber hose if it has one, other wise it will contaminate the new master and slave
