Your clutch slave softline probably has a rip in it causing it to leak, that was the problem with mine....

You might find that the clutch disk is broken or one or more of the fingers on the pressure plate is bent. Happened to me. Pilot bearing faulure is pretty rare, usually those things last forever.

LoL, I've been dropping the tranny a lot. Pulled it 3 times in the past 2 weeks Every time done by myself. This last time it took 30mins total for the driveshaft, shifter, tranny, clutch, and flywheel I've found it's a lot faster to not use a jack to drop the tranny. I do support it with the jack when I remove the bolts, but then I get the jack out of there and pul it down with my hands. I put it back in the same way.
