Also so you know the rear main seal was replaced by a shop in Hawaii Dec 2007. When they put the new clutch in. Which is or now was a Spec+ stage 3

If you are using a Stage 3+ then the assembly can be cleaned and resinstalled. Remember, 3+ kits use a carbon-semi-metallic disc material which will not absorb the contaminant like an organic or Kevlar. Just clean it up, with break-clean, making sure that you don't leave any residue on the disc, plate and flywheel. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,

I already bought and installed the new spec 3+ clutch, and replaced the rear main seal. The rear main seal is what was leaking not the valley cover. but it is still getting oil buy the rear main seal ( or I think because it is still getting a spot on the ground) could I have to much pressure in the crank case? Put a new PVC in and put a breather on where the oil fill cap was. Is there anything else I can check?

You really ought to get back in there and see where the oil is coming from. In truth, I have seen folks goof the RMS install and have to do it again (please understand that I am not saying that you inherently did this). At the end of the day it is best to find the issue and fix it before it contaminates another clutch!
