My van started doing this shortly after I had the clutch replaced. Its been
doing this for, oh, I hate to say, but for at least 20,000 miles. During that
time I've noticed what appears to be a small leak from the transmission - so I
suspect that one of the seals (engine or transmission) is leaking and throwing
oil on the clutch.

Or it could be the alleged bad run of Sachs clutches from Mexico. I saw that
mentioned a few years ago - but not recently.

I suppose it could be broken motor or transmission mounts - anyone know how to
check these?
