Bell housing leak

Member
Gents,

I installed a new throw out bearing and new clutch when I first installed the engine. I'm trying to bleed the clutch and brakes and developed a leak I think in the bell housing. It doesn't look like it's dripping from the outside on top. Any ideas what I need to tighten down or replace????? I'm assuming the clutch pipe seal first?? Man I hope I don't have to pull the engine.

Okay, I was able to video the drip. It looks like it's coming from that clutch pipe seal. Going to dealer to pick one up now.

I just dealt with this piece leaking, there is a small rubber seal that got stuck in my clutch pipe when i pulled it off. Make sure you have this installed.

The top of the nipple missing the seal.

I fought a leak here for a while, there just wasn't anything showing as this being the leak point. It would make it down into the bell housing without any sign.

Thanks guys! Also, how bad is it to have brake fluid in there? Do I need to spray a bunch of brake cleaner down there??

I’d spray a little brake clean and let it drain if you dumped a lot but if it’s just a little you shouldn’t have to worry about fluid in the clutch.

Is it stuck down in the fitting? mine was pretty in there from trying to press it into place. I read if you want a new seal you have to buy a new assembly.
The T35 pipe with the seal on it is sold separate from the T/O bearing. I have not found the seal sold separately. That would be nice but thankfully the pipe is not very expensive, just pricey enough to be aggravating.

Yes, if I remember correctly it was 25/35 bones which is not bad! Plus you get a shiny new one every time you misplace the seal :p
