I think after time, the seals just corrode. The OP has a 00 s, you have an 01, and from what I've read here, CMCs can go bad in as little as three years.
Fwiw, I just replaced mine at 6 yrs old. I first flushed the fluid, but it was still leaking, with black build up at the plunger, which I took to be disintegrating rubber mixed with brake fluid. Ymmv.

So, it sounds like with a 10 year old 160k mile car with black residue in the plunger I should go for a new one at this point (master cyl).

mate just had the same thing 2 i had replaced my clutch and flywheel a week earlier the extra pressure from the aftermarket clutch must have blown the already weak seal in the master the pedal went sloppy as i just replaced both the master and slave the guys at my honda dealership said usually when the master goes the slave usually follows so u might want to think about changing both

pick up an omni power one, its an upgrade over the stock makes the clutch feel better and allows for quicker shifts
i dont know why people still buy from a company that have
terrible product failure record.
remember the omni full coilover? the lower machined mount(the one
that connect your shock to the control arm) snaps in half

please explain why you think it feels better...
I think clutch feel is a matter of preference, with the omni pedal feel is much stiffer and clutch engagement is much sooner than stock.
