    G260 Leak at track day!

    I had a blast running my e30 at the track today until my clutch started slipping! I pulled into the pits and looked under the car and gear lube was steadily dripping out of my bellhousing! I changed the input seal about 2000 miles ago when I did my M50 swap, but I cant think of anything else that would cause this, can you? I had to leave the car at the track and am picking it up tomorrow. Also if it is the input seal do you think I can just clean my clutch disc and other parts with brake clean and re-use them or am I buying another clutch?
    Thanks

      It would be best to replace the clutch disk. The pressure plate will be okay after cleaning.

      On the chance that this is engine oil, rather than transmission fluid, replace the main seal and the transmission input seal. And use thread sealant on the flywheel bolts if you don't use new bolts.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          Its gear lube for sure so I am assuming the input seal. The main seal was done 1000 miles ago when I put the new motor in. I have had a little noise from the trans when idling and the clutch is no pressed down-like a bearing noise. i was hoping it was the to bearing when I replaced that and the pilot but the noise was still there. I will hopefully have time to pull it out in the next 2 days. Thanks
