could be a lot of things. last year i had the same thing happen and it was a poorly sealed threaded plug on the rear of the engine after it was built, it was behind the flywheel. not a fun fix. thank god i didnt have to pay to fix it.

id guess the pan gasket though. or maybe the back of the valve cover ?

.. or the clutch slave cylinder, how's the level in the reservoir? Do you have the inspection cover off, can you see which side of the flywheel is wet with oil?

If its oil and not clutch fluid as mentioned, it could be the rear oil seal or seal retainer gasket. Just got finished replacing both on mine a couple of months ago. No oil leak so far. It was dripping off the back of the oil pan though. Thought it was the pan gasket at first but of course it couldn't be that easy.

Hey just found what was wrong with the car. Drove it a little today with no problems, stopped and got something to eat when it was time to leave I pushed the clutch in and boom straight to the floor she went!!! So Im guessing the slave cylinder went to ****...

I stock the slave cylinders. Might be a good time to replace the clutch and upgrade the flywheel as well.

Chuck stocks this stuff as well.
