I had a torn seal behind the harmonic balancer and the oil leak found its way into my ls7 clutch and it was slipping,i wonder if it is possible to use brake clean or such a product to clean off your clutch

clutch slipping is not normal, neither are oil leaks.

So what exactly are you asking with that last question ?

And how do you think PAS fluid is finding it's way onto the clutch ?

Brake-clean will not do much to help a Kevlar disc (porosity allows for absorption and this means that even if you clean the surface oil will remain within the fibers and resurface during use). That being said if you want to post pics of the parts I will be happy to help you assess them. Let me know. Thanks,
