So I was driving along just fine, and out of nowhere I heard a sort of clunk from directly under the motor/tranny. I didn't think too much of it because I thought it could be something from the road. Related or not, I get home after work and go to drive somewhere a bit later, and insied the cab smells like gear oil, and I did not see any visible leaks from under the car, so fine I drove it. I drove about 30 miles, and about ten miles before home, a clicking noise started to appear from the passenger side of the motor, and when in first gear only, the clicking accelerated with the car, any other gear it was fine. I get home, and look and its leaking, shut car off to get other car from the garage. Upon starting it again, I hear two louder knocks from that side of the motor, and then drove it into the garage. I cannot pinpoint where it is coming from cause everything is wet from another oil leak i am also fixing. The car just had Pennzoil syncromesh added 500 miles ago, recently adjusted clutch (improperly, gonna do that too), and the slave cylinder rubber piece was not on the slave itself, just kinda hanging there, if it matters. If you can deceipher what I am trying to say, please help me! All input is appreciated as always! Thanks!
 
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? I want to get my car back on the road asap! Thanks!
