I just had a new clutch put in my car about 2 months ago and i have drivin the break in miles and i have seemed to run into a problem...when i puch on the accelerater it seems like the clutch is slipping but there is no way that it could have that quick(Plus yesterday i drove in car to car traffic for about 1/2 - 3/4 hour). But it seems to only do it after i drive a little...It doesn't do it when i start up but after driving it a while it then starts to doo it...My uncles' seem to think that there is oil where the clutch meets the fly wheel..PLEASE POST YOUR IDEAS ON WHAT IT COULD BE AND ANY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM..THANK YOU!!

If there is oil where teh clutch meets the flywheel it means your rear main seal isnt sealing anymore.

check you clutch pedal height and freeplay. The master cylinder is very sensetive to this. The Master Cylinder uses an internal valve that is actuated when the pedal comes all the way up. This releases pedal pressure. If the pedal does not come up far enough, it will not realesa the pressure and actually build pressure over repeated use in a short period of time. If you let it sit a while, the pressure will release slowly, so it appears to happen when cold.

If there was oil where the clutch meets the flywheel, it would be slipping all the time, not just after half hour, right? The freeplay thing sounds right though... did you adjust it when you put in the new clutch? If not, it's not too hard to do, you have to adjust the pin that goes into the master cylinder, it's on the top of the clutch pedal.
