Message	On my way home tonight, something was definately off. It seemed like my clutch was slipping, it was fine with light throttle and at harder throttle, the motor RPM's went up (not real fast like just revving) and the car didnt really accelerate. It also seemed real bogged down. The other day I checked the fluid in the MC and it was down to a little under MIN so I topped it off and I checked it today. It was still at proper level but cloudy almost muddy greenish light brown color. I also checked the oil and it was almost empty! A quick inspection of underneath the car showed a trans and other parts close to it SOAKED in oil. I didnt notice any puddles or anything so I wonder if something happened on the drive home. Rear Main? Im going to get an oil change or top it off in the morning and look to see if I can find where im losing it from, but the car is not happy about moving. The pedal seems a little softer (clutch) and the slipping seems managable as long as I drive with a light foot, but who knows for how long. Is this a kiss of death for my motor? Its got 236K and still runs OK, no smoke or anything.
