Doesn't take too lomg of a drive before the clutch takes on a strong burning smell. Very noticable once you park the car and walk around the front.
Local mechanic recently made the observation that the fluid drip I have on the driver's side of the engine compartment Is coming from the mating of the engine-to-transaxle. He said it could be an engine seal or a transaxle seal leak and it is getting onto the clutch friction plate.
Curiously, I smelled the power steering fluid resevoir (thought it was the hydraulic fluid for the clutch) and it also smelled the same burned smell.
So, what have I got here?
Don't notice slippage of the clutch, nor any fluid loss of any kind (maybe power steering)
