[BW]

It can\'t be your clutch. Theres no fluid in, or around the clutch. Your case might be leaking though.

[BW]

ahh thats good to know. i thought it might be the over flow too

[ZZ4Blazer]

There shouldn\'t be an overflow. There should be a vent tube on it, and a fill plug. There should be none coming from the vent. You fill could be loose. Im not too sure about seals in the front and rear of the tranny. I\'ve never had any go bad on any of my manulas.

my rear main sel leaks like a mother. you can see it dripping out. i think i am missing some bolts but i dunno. the inspection shop we go to screwed around and now they are trying to get us to get them to fix it. they took out 2 bolts and it leeeks like crazy. your bolts might be loose i dunno. torque em and c what happens. good luck and i feel ur pain.

[Wendell]

how is your tranny shifting? is it making a growling noise or a whine noise when moving in gear? are you feeling any clutch chatter when letting out the clutch? if so it is possible that the front bearing in the tranny is going bad. this could cause the front tranny seal to leak trans oil. make sure that it is trans oil and not engine oil.

your clutch never comes in contact with any fluid or lube. if your clutch is getting wet and slingin oil you have to have a leaky transmission input shaft seal. usually when a clutch gets saturated with oil it wont grab and will slip bad. take off the access plate on the bottom of the bellhousing (if you have one) and check for leaks. i would definitly get it fixed before you buy a clutch
