Oil Seepage...Bellhousing, Oil Pan

Nothing major, no drips.. but I was wondering about you guys with 12v's...

You have seepage?

Should I think about replacing anything?

There is a small slot about 5.5 inches across on the bottom of the bellhousing, what is this for? Clutch residue to exit?

I hear oil can find weird places to creep around...

My oil pan used to seep, no drips just a little damp. When I changed my clutch I though it would be a good time to put a new oil pan gasket on. Now it leaks and drips on the driveway . If I had to do it over again I would have left it alone.

Put in a rear seal and it will quit leaking.

CTD's don't leak oil, they are marking their territory.
