The slave cylinders can be an issue. Is the problem static or does it get worst as you ride? If it does not get worst, you should be able to bleed it to get it back. Does the throwout bearing ever squeal? If it does, it should be addressed. A bad bearing will accelerate the wallowing out of the cylinder bore leading to leakage.

The direct replacement cylinder and piston are no longer available. You can get a later model (Paso style) thru Ducati. I believe it is 2mm larger so you have to get the entire setup - vented cover and piston. About $400+. I have it on mine.

Not all dealers will be able to help you. I have found the guys at ProItalia are able and willing to take the time to cross reference the old Microfisch to moderm part numbers.
