you'll need a mirror and flash light and the engine running.. use the mirror to look at the opsu, to see if its leaking.. it could just be running down the back of the engine and bell making you think that something inside is leaking..

Is the clutch holding? if it's slipping i can promise its the plug in the back of the crank

I checked all around the bellhousing and its good. But oil is just everywhere in the bellhousing. It doesn't really slipped but I know there is oil on the clutch cause there was last time I took it out.

I would have given up already lol. Oddly though it sounds more like my oil leak i had. Idk what was causing it but come to find out my engine took a **** for good so im assuming thats the reason bc it was acting like it had low power before i found out about the leak. Yet my dip stick always showed it was good idk. Either way i really hope you find the culprit.

I am definitely going to find it. it would be one thing if it was a automatic but oil is getting on the clutch so thats not good. i just thank god i didnt get the monster clutch cause i would be pissed

welsh plug, I am about 99% sure of it.. its a pain in the *** to do, and be extra careful not to knock the plug down into the oil pan..

Get a new pilot bearing to go with it if you don't already have one.

that plug shouldn't have been taken out to begin with, and yes that is absolutely what I was talking about.

and if it wasn't in there at all, It is very likely in your oil pan. it was likely knocked out by whatever method you used to remove the pilot, during your clutch install..

make sure you find that old plug, while you have the trans out.. you do not want the pickup tube getting ahold of it causing a restriction.. it will be bad news

You might get a dark red Scotch brite pad, and knock some of that burr down. Try to smooth it out a bit. Damn!! What did you use in there, an air chisel ?? Lolz
