I've replaced my clutch for a new style one with the steel gears. I did a practice day at hooton and all was well. We've been back to Hooton again today and it has started ejecting oil out of the vent plug. I did about 10 laps and came in (thats when I noticed it). I drained the oil and it had lost 20mls of the 100 it had in. I checked the gears out and they are fine, I'm just a little confused as its definately come out of the vent. It hasn't lost any water and I rebuilt the fuel pump with a new kit, just incase something was passing into the case causing it to pressurise up (plucking at straws). Has anyone experienced this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.
