Default Question: Should air be blowing out of bottom of bellhousing?
Well, I had recently installed a new ypipe, and to check leaks I had the car in the air and running. As I was checking for leaks I felt air coming out of the opening in the bottom of the bellhousing where it meets the block. Is this normal? I'm guessing that it's simply the movement of air inside the bellhousing as the clutch and flywheel rotate, but I just wanted to be sure.

Thanks.

Anyone? I'm guessing not to many people have been under their cars while they were running.
