beast5680:
could be clutch fluid leaking into the bell housing from the slave cylinder or engine oil from the rear main seal on the crank or perhaps g,box oil coming from the g/box input shaft seal maybe?

Range Rover Blues:
Water and oil wouldn't mix so you'd expect to see mayonaise.  Clutch fluid is miscible so you'd get a sugary/slippery water.

You need to keep a close check on your fluids for a while and see which one's going down.  Also, was there enough liquid for the clutch to be sat in a pool of it? :shock:

That was my thoughts Andy, could it be water and dust from the clutch pressure plate mixed?  :?
