Somthing.. odd here
When I top off my Oil… my Clutch Seems to slip.. a lot..
When it drops Below Half on the Dip stick. The Clutch Works like a Champ…
Now last I checked when I had the trans down. I don’t believe I saw anyway AT ALL. For Oil to make its Way to the Flywheel…
Any suggestions? Or is it Just about time for a new Clutch.. which wouldn’t explain the slipping at full lvl

Only when its Fill'd.
i tested this As of today.
ran it down to about a little below half..
Ran it.. Clutch was Great.
Filld it.. let it sit and cool down. clutch Slips.
No smoke... not even a burnt Clutch smell when it Slips... i ruld out the Slave Cyl. as i thought it May not be Releasing all the way..
But i dont like the sound of the rear main Seal going...

If the rear main seal is leaking, you won't necessarily get a **** load of oil on the clutch because the flywheel is in the way.
Take out the rubber plug at the bottom of the tranny bellhousing under the clutch area. If there's oil there, it will add more 'meat' to the theory.
Rear seal replacement is not too bad, relative to let's say rotor oil seal replacement.

if you can change the clutch than you can get to the rear main seal and change that its super easy
the hardest part is taking the old one out well at least it was for me cuz it was stuck pretty good
