Even worse, it sounds as if he had a "dump" in the parking lot, meaning
that he had some kind of steady leak going down the road, but it didn't
empty fast enough to keep up with the leak. That means that the bell
housing was full of oil, and you know what that means to a clutch plate.
"You're soaking in it" as Marge used to say on the dish soap commercial.
