Recently (about 1500 miles ago) had a rps twin disc clutch, new slave and master, and the tranny mildly rebuilt (new 1st and reverse synchros and bearings). The car is leaking what I assume to be tranny fluid out of the little window on the bottom of the bell housing. Its odorless, and has the color of motor oil, not really tranny fluid. The clutch fluid level is fine right between max and min, motor oil level is fine, so it only points to trans fluid.

The leak is there only after driving for a bit and then parking the car, not enough to drip onto the exhaust and burn. Clutch seems to grab fine, car shifts fine. The tranny is somewhat loud being the clutch chatters a lot and I can hear a faint whining.

Is there a seal in the front that is likely bad? This is driving me crazy, after dumping thousands of dollars into the car to get it fixed.

Are you sure it's not oil. Maybe a rear main?

rear main was done at same time. however it had been replaced once before that, and the shop told me that the crankshaft was scored from some idiot at the dealership using the wrong tool and its preventing the seal from sealing properly. i don't know if thats true or not.

oil pan gasket also was replaced by dealership about 500 miles ago.

I would take it apart soon before it soaks your clutch. There are seals at the motor & trans either can pose the problem.

The car is parked right now, while I save up funds, is that going to be a problem to have it sit, or should I take it in to get fixed like asap?
