A ways back I said I would report on any results of investigations on this
problem.  It seems that the gunk getting into the clutch areas was not oil.
The seals were good on the trans and engine.  Seems that there is this hose
going from the passenger head to the heater hoses.  It finally identified
itself be cleaning the right side of the engine compartment for me.  Oily
steam cleaning.  Really fun.  At any rate, couldn't get a new hose right
then so had to pop for a good used one from the local VW bone yard.  Good
hose actually.  Solved those problems and no more drips from the clutch.
Must have been a pinhole in the hose and it hit just right with the air
stream to cause it to slip in the side of the clutch housing.  What appeared
to be oil was just dirty coolent residue.  At least that is one problem
solved.

Have come up with a little alarm circuit for the Boxer.  Haven't tried it
yet but what I am doing is going to tie into the LED indicators for the
temperature and oil pressure.  My 84GL doesn't have any kind of alert (other
that a flashing LED) and if you are not always watching these, you don't
know there is a problem until it is to late.  At any rate, this little
circuit will mount right on the flex and I don't believe that anything will
have to come outside of the instrument housing.  The alarm can be herd
without having to make any holes.  I haven't got it together yet and
actually field tested it but I have tested the alert device and appears to
be loud enough to be herd over road noise.  More on this once I get it
working and tested.
