Hello, I have the transaxle out of my Vair right now while freshening up the engine. It has been leaking from day one of purchase. Last year I removed the transaxle to replace a broken Crown mainshaft and install a new pilot bushing. At the time I wasn't sure where the leak was as everything was oil contaminated, after all was cleaned and reassembled the leak remained and found it to be the throwout bearing collar/input seal. I think the seal might just be in the wrong position to hit the input shaft in the right spot or the seal is completely tore up from before or both.
