1)
(a)According to the Tana Kama, the Mizbe'ach renders Kodesh - whatever is fit to be brought on it.

(a)Rebbi Shimon rules that - whereas a Pasul Korban that is brought on the Mizbe'ach is not taken down, its Nesachim are.
(b)Given that the source of the basic ruling ('Im Alah Lo Yeired') is the Olah, the reason for the distinction is - because Nesachim are not similar to an Olah by virtue of the fact that they are not brought in their own right ...
(c)... irrespective of whether the Korban is Kasher and the Nesachim, Pasul, or vice versa (See Tosfos Yom Tov) ...
(d)... or even if both are Pasul.

1. ... 'Nishchat Chutz li'Zemano' - and is followed by 'Nishchat Chutz li'Mekomo' (See Tosfos Yom Tov), and ...

(c)He explains the Pasuk in Tzav to mean - 'This is the law of the Olah (there is one law that covers all those that are brought up on the Mizbe'ach - that once they are up, they are not taken down)'.
