its probably leaking. See if you can find the source. If not, clean it off and check it again in a day or a week or so.

Sorry, I don't know where the bleed screw is.

Does the clutch disengage completely? Try shifting into reverse at idle and listen/feel for grinding - to answer this question.

Did you recently install a short-shifter? Have you checked the shifter alignment?

In general, I think the linkage is kinda an all or nothing thing. "hard to shift" doesn't really point to a linkage issue, imo. Either your pp or tob is fvcked, you have air in the system, your tranny fluid sucks, or you have a shifter alignment issue.

installed a rs4 clutch.. sac was fine when i took it out of the box unless mechanic messed it up with new tob.. so i should be fine..
