Re: Trans fluid leak at main rear engine seal?

LanM, You bet. Could be the clutch shaft seal, The rear main seal or the clutch shaft cover o'ring. If the clutch slave cylinder is leaking then you would have brake fluid in the same place on the floor and eventually a poorly to non-functioning clutch. Fluid coming from any of those places will tend to run down the transaxle housing onto the chassis crossmember and then onto the floor at one common location. Those things should all be replaced when a clutch is or you may get to pay for the labor twice in short order. If practical try to see which dipstick is showing a loss, engine or tranny. Inspect the front of the trans. housing to see if it's the shaft cover o'ring. Otherwise you may have to pull out the clutch and slave just to identify the source. I suppose that you may be able to remove or loosen the three allen screws from the slave and press it toward the clutch enough to see if there is trans. oil leaking through the clutch shaft seal. Inspect the check valve in the crankcase ventilation system. If it's bad or reversed you will pressurize the crankcase and that could make a rear main seal leak (long shot). Good luck.
