Thread: Removing the clutch drain plug

That oil looks a bit dark, do you reckon it's engine or gearbox oil. You may be up for a new rear main seal!
Even that small amount of oil will get blown around in the housing by the windmill effect of the ring gear and clutch turning and end up stuffing the clutch plate and rubber boot on the slave cylinder pushrod. Definitely a good idea to leave the wading plug out unless you are doing deep water or mud. And it also alerts you to the start of any oil leaks in there before the oil does any damage.

That was almost nasty!

Engine oil or clutch fluid?
