If it helps, on my old Golf cl I once welded DIY twin pipes onto the back box...the result looked rubbish and sounded even worse

Think i have solved the slipping clutch- the sump gasket is pissing out oil and that thin steel plate that sits between engine and gearbox doesnt quite cover the flywheel...which is now soaked in oil...
Some forum this is- why didnt anyone tell me "oil" was a "lubricant"...??
