Sounds logical to me. How do I go about correcting the problem? I don't believe I'm losing any oil from the engine. I checked it not too long ago and it still read full and I didn't have oil spots on the pavement.
The clutch fluid resevoir is good, in between the min/max lines. The clutch "feels" like it should, except with the problem I mentioned.
Is this bad news to have stuff leaking on the flywheel?

Only thing I'm not sure of is if it is possible for a rear main to leak onto the friction side of the flywheel on a Honda. Don't remember what the setup looks like. Possible the slave could be leaking onto it, too, but I'd think you woulda lost all your fluid by now.
