Re: 90 mustang problems..... need help.
what i would do is go to an auto parts store and buy some either degreaser or brake clean spray and jack your car up/get safely under your car. Use the degreaser and spray off with water OR spray off with brake cleaner and wash off with water. Drive for awhile and recheck for a leak - if it's not there, something fishy is going on. Also, if it's been leaking for awhile there'll be blackish/brown tarnish marks on the exhaust and parts will be almost gooey from oil and dirt mixing together.
It's common for 2.3's to leak from the rear main so it may have started leaking. Yes it can get onto the clutch because the flywheel/clutch are bolted right to the back of the crankshaft where the rear main seal is and can get contaminated with oil.
Also, there may be an oil leak, but it's seeping - but usually it'll end up on the ground. also check and see how much oil your car is using - if there's a leak your oil level will drop. try leaving paper towels or something under your car to check for fresh oil drips.
Hope this helps.
