Default Grease on flywheel causing slip?

My clutch work great when I pulled the motor. Went to tune today and it was slipping pretty bad. It was getting better, but still slipped pretty good. It seems to grip when the rpms are higher. It also seems like it gripos when it wants to but always bad from a stop and low rpms. Brand new master and slave. Also bled well.

Im thinking some grease or some kind of fluid spilled on the flywheel. Will this burn off and cure itself in time? Just thought I would ask before I pull everything.

Contaminant can burn off if it is not coming from a constant source like a leaky RMS, Slave Cylinder, or Front Trans Seal. Is the clutch brand new? Have you noticed any evidence of leaks under the car?

Clutch is a few years old and worked great when I pulled the drivetrain. I do not see anything leaking.
