Clutch Leak
Anyone had this problem? Nothing in the transmission setup has changed since the engine swap. As soon as I started the car, clutch fluid was spewing out of the bellhousing. I disconnected the quick disconnect and cleaned it plugged it back in and no leaks. At about 40 miles it started leaking out the bellhousing slowly. Im not in the same city but my dad undid it put it back and all was well for another 30 or so miles, then back to a leak. Anyone had this problem? the only way to determine if its the slave would be to pull the tranny. I was wondering if it could be the cable? Or the connector on the slave. I can get a new master locally for $200 with cable, and complete the swap this weekend. I just wanted to know if anyone had this similar problem. Because if it does end up being the slave I would have wasted $200 time is limited cuz I live 150 miles from the car. Thanks,
J

TTT...
Really need advice, I have decided I am gonna drop the tranny Friday, the only problem is I do not know how to test it since once you disconnect it and reconnect it leak goes away. So I really need to know if anyone has had this problem before...

Thanks guys what I might do since time is very limited is pull the tranny and if the culprit isnt obvious, replace the slave. Then if the problem isnt solved, order a master online because its definitly the cable and the cable isnt available by itself. That way I wont have to pull the tranny again.
The only thing is how when you disconnect it and reconnect it the leaking stops for a while.

Replaced the slave this weekend but had to be in San Marcos before I could really test it.
