Oil coming out of bellhousing?
I did my clutch, master and slave last winter. I noticed where the tranny connects to the bell housing, where there is the drainage hole, kinda like a rectangle where the two meet, there is oil coming out of there. Anyone ever have this? Im not sure if its the tranny seal on the front of it or the slave. I havent noticed any fluid dissappearing.

It was dry when I did the clutch. I am going to have to pull the tranny and check it. How do you change one of those? I did put a new bearing in the back of the block when i did my clutch.

mine did the samething, but after careful examination. it ended up being the breather tube on top of the coils, on the passenger side of the motor in the back by the firewall. the hose had busted off and was leaking down to my bell housing and was dripping out as if it were a rear main seal.

Im thinking its the slave, I did have a problem with it over extending before I put it in. I pushed the pedal too far without it in the car and it came apart and leaked, I will check it out over the winter, it it requires a new one I will throw one in.

Well is it oil or brake fluid? Right there you'll be able to rule out some parts.
As for oil, it can be alot of things. Rear main seal and Rear cover gasket are two big ones. But if yours was dry when you did the swap then I wouldnt be worried about those. I had oil leaking on my clutch from the Oil pressure sensor. Just needed some loctite on the threads.

I think the white silicone used on the rear main timing cover is causing the leakage, gonna try and pop tranny off tomorrow and see what’s causing my clutch slippage. Hopefully it ain’t soaked with oil lol
