Default MPS6 Wet Clutch Leaking and Slipping

Hello all,

I noticed an oil leak a few weeks ago from the bottom seam of my clutch housing (bell housing), and I confirmed that it was transmission fluid. I had removed the splash guard to check on an unrelated issue, when I noticed that the splash guard was oily, but no oil had been dripping to the floor. The car ran fine at the time, but now the clutch has started to slip, especially on startup after sitting for a long time, or when climbing a steep gradient.

I suspect the leak is possibly due to a bad seal or bearing, and I'm planning on taking out the trans to rebuild the clutch with the help of a mechanic friend. I have ordered a clutch overhaul kit with all the parts needed to rebuild the clutch.

I am desperately looking for instructions on setting measurements for clutch clearance, and my desperate search has yielded nothing so far. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with information on this.
