im getting hesitation, from 700-1900rpm, stuffy kind of sound.. but only after i switch into 2nd it starts to go. around the valve cover there is slight build up of slushy oil around it with some blue smoke. any ideas on what i can do? thanks.

another problem occured not to long ago.. as i was driving..i went to press my clutch downand put it into neutral.. and it dropped to the floor,it didnt even come back up. all the clutch fluid was gone,i always kept it full. i added more fluid to it, tried to pump itand the clutch would get hard again then i would pump it once,then all the fluid would be gone and the clutch would drop to thefloor again...but then i added more fluid and try to pump it againbut it wouldnt pump anymore just drop to the floor but the clutch fluidisnt going down anymore. any help would be great!! thanks.

Maybe sound like you might have some problems with you pistons. For you problem with the clutch it sound that you might have a leak somewhere like your cylinders.

Slushy oil around the valve cover? 1. is your valve cover leaking? 2. burning blue smoke, you could have worn valve stem seals or bad rings. 3. hesitation, have you tried a tune up firstly, secondly are all your fluids in check, when you changed your transmission fluid was it really sparkly? 4. your clutch pedal to the floor, find the leak and fix it. This is simple enough, there aren't many places it could be leaking. Bleeding procedures can be found with a search.
