Rear main seal leaking oil? Have I ruined my clutch? I changed my rear main seal when I installed my ram hd clutch 3 weeks ago. I broke the clutch in (400miles) then I started boosting 5-8psi and the clutch was slipping sometimes. I noticed puddles of oil under my car and I see there is oil spraying out from underneath the car between the the bottom of the tranny and the motor. I am pretty sure its the rear main seal or maybe the rear cover but did I ruin my clutch already?. If so do I need to buy whole new clutch kit? thanks for any input

I would say to take it apart and inspect it. If all looks good you "may" get away with just a new clutch disk. But if it was slipping like you said alot then I would just have the fly cut and replace the disk.
