Leaks up front after a clutch job....
1. Generally the clutch shaft seal needs to be replaced (located under the slave cylinder mounting surface. When the clutch shaft is pulled out or put back in during the clutch job the shaft can mar the seal surface. The seal prevents transmission oil from leaking from the drive chain cavity into the clutch plate space under the plastic clutch cover. Any oil leakage here comes out a small bottom access hole in the aluminium flywheel cover...to the front right, just at the bottom of where the flywheel is located.
2. The front clutch shaft cover plate is leaking....forgot to or lost the seal when it was put back on...transmission oil would be leaking down front of transmission, just below the cover...easy fix...
3. If you had the rear crankshaft seal replaced (under the flywheel) at the same time then it could be the new seal...or they forgot to seal flywheel mounting bolt threads when they reassembled. The bolts go all the way through into the engine into the oil cavity. A leak from ethier of these comes out the same bottom hole in the flywheel cover, just below the flywheel.
4. The leak is not oil but brake fluid which is leaking from the slave unit line connection, the slave unit itself, or short tube to rubber hose clutch line fittings just before it connects to the slave unit.
One can determine if it is the clutch shaft seal or slave unit by looking under the plastic clutch cover...down at the bottom of the casing...to see if a small trail of fluid is coming from the front of the transmission cover before it goes out the bottom hole located under the flywheel. A fluid stream trail here is ethier clutch fluid or transmission oil...
