leaking clutch fluid!

I am noticing a few drops of ATF on the ground after a trip in the Huddy. The housing gasket doesn't appear to be the culprit. I guess this is suggesting a less than perfect throwout seal? Is there anywhere else that might leak before I replace the throwout? I would imagine centrifugal force would tend to keep the fluid towards the outside of the clutch.

    The throwout bearing actually has two seals. The one everyone is familiar with is the spring lipped seal around the main body of the throwout bearing. There is also the inner seal between the body and the bearing. It's a circular seal . This may be where you are getting some leakage. BTW you may want to try some clutch fluid instead of ATF in the clutch. Doug Wildrick sells a good version of the stuff.

    I Would Try Tightening The Preasure Plate Bolts Also Before Going In To A Trans Removal And Bearing Seals Replacement

    Also check the engine side of the flywheel, if no sealer was used between the flywheel and crankshaft they can leak there.

    Where can you buy new seals for the throwout bearing?
