Brett,

Yep that's where mine was which is why I suspected the vent tube material. Replaced it with the foam insert, no more leaks or puddling. BTW, the drivers side still has the Scotch Brite. It was just on the passenger side. Maybe that was enough to relieve the pressure.

I'll have to try the foam.

Thanks, Dom

Marc sells it for $15 for two squares that fit into the cam cover.

Do you have to remove the cam cover to install it? It seems like I remember seeing it?????

Yep

The small drip I am getting is jet black, I thought it was oil with clutch dust in it....but when I smell it...no smell...I would think there would be a faint gas smell or something. Checked the master for the clutch and its nearly out of fluid.

Wonder if its the slave I put in the car 2 years ago....and maybe not oil?

Any way to check

Lee,

Have you checked the carpetby drivers side firewall?

[LGAFF]

the master is new....the slave was leaking some when I put it back in...but I though that was because it was extended....maybe its bad.

Have you checked to see if seal is in backwards? =Jeff= has a source for
OEM type slaves. I have the cast Walker slave and so far its working well.
