Subject:      Oil leak?????
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I have had a persistant leak of some type.  Appeared to be gear oil coming
from between the clutch housing and the engine.  When I had some work done,
both the main seal and trans seal were replaced.  I am still getting the oil
(appears to be gear oil since I am not using any engine oil over 3500
miles).  I had the trans fluid a little full (to the bottom of the fill
hole).  Don't know how that happened because I measured it when I changed
the fluid over a month ago.  Drained some more off down to about 1/4 inch
below the bottom of the fill hole.  I am still getting the leaking.  Not a
lot but every time I stop I get oil.  Could this be caused by a plugged vent
(which was supposed to be cleared by the mechanic when the clutch was done)
or is there something else that I am overlooking?
