It really is sounding like a mystery now. If your inside is dry, then it sounds like the clutch would be fine. But I'm far from a mechanic. lol. Only thing I can think of is a bad line on the slave cylinder or some oil spilled during the change and slid its way down there without burning. I can't find anything else out about it online.

 

I guess the only way to find out is to pull the tranny. I just slid under the car and spent about 10min. looking around. I dried the spot off and it slowly starts to show more seepage only between th bell housing and the engine. It's a mystery and it sucks.

The only thing I can think of is that it's on the other side of the pressure plate.

 

theres a fix for this.....

but first have a buddy push the clutch in and out to see if that seems moves in and out with the clutch

 

im trying to research where i saw this before

there is some kind of guide pin/ set pin

or bolts that you should replace because the stock one have a tendency to stretch out over time.. idk something like that.

Stand By

 

My wife helped me with it last night, the cyl. was moving fine with no leaks. I'm about ready to take it to the dealer, I'm beginning to think it is the rear main seal.

 

Makes sense since you have oil on the transmission.

How to Fix a Rear Main Seal | eHow.com

 

Seen that link last night, looks like a pain in the ass. I may just see if the dealer will fix it under warranty.

 

I would, cuz it would probably void your warranty to even attempt that. Now that you mention it, that is what it sounds like. No other way oil could get down there without a cracked block, which you would definitely notice. Schedule your Camshaft sensor and that at once. I wonder if they'll charge you for new oil? lol.

 

Make sure not to even mention that you just had a clutch installed. They wont know the difference most likely.

 

Yeah, I thought about that. If they ask, I'll tell them it was done last fall. I think it is the rear main seal because the car sat in the garage all winter and maybe the seal dried out. The new clutch could of gave it that little extra disturbance it needed to leak.

 

I guess it's possible. I would put the stock dp back on now lol. To bad you weren't closer to me, I could get it in the shop and have the service manager look the other way.

 

well then im brining my car in for this evap circuit. i took it out of the computer because it was stoping me from getting my e-check

my dealer said with my code p0449 the vent valve is not covered but the purge valve is covered, the computer is covered, but the wires and connectors are not covered.

so i replaced vent valve, purge solenoid, and fuses. connectors look good. must be wires, but if i could get that "covered" under evap warranty that would be nice

 

Yep, took care of that this morning.

 

Not sure what all they could do for you. You would have to call them and see what they say. Wires may not be covered at all.

 

Yea and if they were to ask about the clutch, like you said tell them you had it replaced last summer or something.
