Recently I noticed very black oil splatter inside my bell housing, as I shine a flashlightthrough the hole where the clutch fork comes out. It's not much, however it produces a few drips on the ground after driving the car. I'm running a 5.0 w/EFI and supercharger in a 1965 Fastback, my trany is a T-56. Both the engine and trany have under 3K miles.I checked the fluid in the trany; its clean. Theengine oil is also new.

Can Iassume this leak is comingpasta broken/defective seal (either from the trany or engine)? And that the reason it's black isthat the oil is running over dirt/grime and getting dirty when it drips on the ground?

This happened a day after I drove the carat aroad race track, in temps exceeding 110 degrees. When the car hit 240 degrees, I pulled off the track. The car neverboiled over.

I suspect that the heat of the day, the track and my engine possibly ruined some seals in the trany. Any thoughts, opinions or advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
