Oil Leak..From Alternator area and by clutch slave cylinder on Tranny.. Need Help!!
I have recently discovered an oil leak that seems to be leak from the alternator area and there is oil on the tranny coming from above the Clutch Slave cylinder. I seem to only leak noticably when I go WOT with the car and then after driving hard and parking the car, I will come out to a puddle of oil about 3-4 inches in diameter. If I drive nice and easy like I usually do, I dont notice any leaks? I have a feeling it might be the front valve cover leaking but have not had enough time to examine it.. The valve cover was removed a while ago and it seems possibe to me that it is leaking at the gasket.
I know for a fact that it is not the Oil Pressure Switch. I just feel that it would make sense that it leaks at the VC Gasket when I go WOT because of the amount of oil pressure that is traveling, making it easier to seep through the gasket.
I am looking for your opinions or thoughts on what it may be. I can provide pictures if necessary.. Keep in mind bottom portion of alternator full of oil, leaking all the way down to the lower oil pan... Also above the clutch slave cylinder there is oil leaking.
Thanks,
-Nick
