I posted in my build thread about this but I'd really love a more concrete answer before I put a new clutch in and ruin it.
Where did all this come from? It was still very wet before I cleaned it out.
Here are all the possible places I can think of:
Input shaft seal
Through the clutch fork hole
Rear main seal
Oil pan seal
??? Other locations? Apparently I have a valve cover leak too but I didn't see any drip down
There is so much crap in the housing that I can't believe a tiny drip from the oil pan could do it. When i first pulled the transmission down there was a lighter colored drip coming out from the bell housing weep hole so could it just be transmission fluid and clutch dust? The clutch really started to slip badly after I filled up the transmission a couple weeks ago, the fluid level was low. Could it really just be the input shaft seal? Can the shaft housing itself leak around the bolts?
My steps right now before I put the clutch in are:
Clean the transmission (done)
Input shaft seal (done)
Rear main seal
Tighten the oil pan? I don't have an engine hoist yet.
Tighten the valve covers?
Any tips? Much appreciated.
