Car going back to the dealer

Well,my clutch is slipping again. So it seems to me that the main seal is leaking oil once more.. I could be wrong, but I will confirm it this monday when I drop off my car over there in the morning..

Just looked underneath my car and yup there is an oil drip,a nice one to. I also called the service manager on his cell phone. He told me that they were going to take care of it fully. That said, I wonder if my block is defective when cast it? I mean how hard is it to ***n replace the main seal?

Update

I was mistaken about the oil leak yesturday. The fluid that I saw was from the AC unit. That said, the dealer already has my car torn apart. The slippage was not from any new oil leaks. Seems like it has something to do with the stock flywheel. The reason why is that there are 3 dark, burn looking spots on the wheel. I dont know if the new stock flywheel is defective. What do you guys think could of gone wrong?

Sounds like they didn't replace the flywheel to begin with and 3 burn marks are caused by the oil.

That makes sense. What about the clutch & flywheel not being properly aligned?

When they mean burn do they mean hotspots from a slipping clutch?

If the clutch and flywheel have an incorrect step height then that could be causing the problems. I would venture to say that they resurfaced your flywheel but didn't correct the step height as well.
