Steel rod should have a socket assembly on its end that pushes on the 
ball on the lever.  Best sign to rebuild, when they leak, 
particularly the slave.  Change the fluid out with your brake fluid 
every 2 years.  And a good hint, work on and remove the slave from 
the engine compartment, MUCH easier, on air cooled you are forced to 
work from below.
