@P-hack - That's the plan (replace the clutch), but I have to fix the leaks first.

@Basjoos- thanks for chiming in- most of my P&G (80%) is flat, the rest is hills and intersections.

Basically if I don't need to be accelerating my car is not on.

Just replaced the VTEC solenoid gasket, took all of 10 minutes. But while doing it I took a closer look and think the oils is getting in from the VSS sensor on the transaxle, which maybe next.. Not sure if that's possible (clutch slip from there), but there is a lot of oil around it.

I am tempted to not use my cut-off switch and see if it still slips. In theory, the constant on/off's is causing my motor to spill oil, more than when it was just on all the time. But switching off is like second nature now..

Maybe time for me to get a Prius and move this to my "project" side of the garage :O
