Cool HELP PLEASE

alright im really starting to get aggrivated with this truck. i'll give as much info as i can but i dont know anything about this. i replaced my clutch last weekend with a valair 400 hp organic. also replaced pressure plate, rear main oil seal, throwout bearing, and throwout forks. got the flywheel resurfaced at tennessee clutch and he put a kevlar pilot bushing in it. my old pilot bearing was completely shot and it had wore the end of the input shaft. it didn't seem bad just worn on the very end and the guy helping me said it would be fine. the guy at valair said be easy on it for 100-150 miles. i was easy on it for almost 300 so when i got in this evening i decided to try it out. when in 6th at lower rpms and you floor it it slips to 2000rpm when the turbo spools, it will hold there and finally quit slipping. but if you dont shift to 6th till higher rpms its fine. i also noticed i had some oil dripping again. cant tell where from exactly but it looks like same as last time. but it doesn't like while its running, only when its been shut off. i really need some help here im running out of time and money. mods are listed in signature. any help would be great

oil leaks at the back of the motor most likely comes from up top...there is a weep hole in the valley at the back of the motor ditch side for oil to drain.....your pedistal to block and pedistal to turbo can also leak and oil will just run down the back of the block as well..

I agree with Ron , clean up the top of the engine and start looking for leaks. I don't know what's causing the clutch slippage does it only do it in 6th ? Is the oil leak that bad ?

ok thanks. i replaced my hpop gasket awhile back and checked everything else on it and it looked fine but i think it might be coming from my pedestal. and yeah it only does it in 6th when on the hot street setting. if its on the economy setting it doesn't slip. i was really happy with my new tunes untill this. it pulls really hard and i was startin to feel confident in it till i went to 6th.
