Hello everyone, my slave cylinder recently called it quits. So I took it to a shop and I decided while these guys have the tranny down I should replace the clutch/flywheel/master,pilot,rear main etc(the car has 72000 miles). Once I got the car back it was driving and shifting great, the problem arose when I got home from the shop and looked under the car...it was leaking oil...lots...I'm sure it's from the rear main seal they replaced. My question is that since I put approx 80 miles on the new clutch, is there a chance of it being contaminated with the oil from the rear main leak. Seeing on how it is there fault for installing a faulty seal, should they install a new clutch or can the existing one be cleaned??? I just want to be armed with info before I approach these guys in case they try to pull a "fast one"! Thanks in advance...

 

You could just bring it back and politley ask them to take a look at it to be sure it's not runoff from anything. Ask them if it's normal. If they say there's a problem, you didn't accuse them of a faulty seal.

Check you oil level frequently to see if it's going down. THere's a chance it might not have touched the friction disk in the clutch. Even if it was leaking from behind.

Just bring it back and say "It seems like it's leaking a bit more than runoff. Could you look at it?" One nice thing of having a shop do the work is, it's waranty'd. They did it so they are responsible for it. and the after effects.
