Is my slave leaking??

I rebuilt my tranny and put it in about a week ago. I since have jacked the car up higher to do headers. These is brake fluid leaking out around my bellhousing now. It is not a lot, but after a week about a 2" puddle.

I have not noticed any drop in the reservoir.

Is this just what seeps out after bleeding, or is my slave leaking now??

Are you sure it's not a rear main seal?

It's brake fluid, not oil

I know, but I'm just saying, it's hard to tell some of the time with all the gunk and dust that comes out of the bellhousing with the fluid.

Well last night I looked at it again. There were two drips just hanging on the bellhousing, but nothing on the floor yet. I wedged a board on the clutch and left the clutch depressed all night. There are two more drips hanging, but nothing on the floor.

Is it possible that this is still just what is in the bottom of my bellhousing from bleeding a week and a half ago??

I cannot see anything dripping from the line going to the slave.

I would guess it is leaking. It is a tight fit between the bellhousing and the block so it leaks slow but after a week and a half i would think it would have evaporated by now. Just keep an eye on your reservoir level.
