DOSN'T SEEM RIGHT
HI,driving car today just wasnt the same under boost ,i know my clutch is on way out as it slips time to time under hard accelaration,& in the tall gears, but could this cause the car to feel different under power , just didnt seem to have the same pull yet the needle seemed to rise up the band ok ? sti hawkeye , so my question is could this be the clutch

sorry, for the confusiopn i def dont have leaks , my headers are wrapped so i get that strange smell how can i describe , like burnt cinder toffee smell from them , but there has been a diff smell since yesterday ,, def got a oil based smell to it - what would the clutch smell like ? im 99% its the problem . just took the car out again , warmed it on drive for 10 mins , took it steady for 3miles then cane'd it down motorway , no clutch slip, power there, oil level fine , took under shroud off , no leaks ,, now im really confused ,, i know come morning the clutch will slip first 20mls of journey

well i thik best to just order a clutch , change it out & take it from there. i know for def i have a clutch prob as its slipping intermitent be as it may, its still a problem issue to address. jst cant get my head round that smell , it isnt overwhelming by all means, it most likely is the clutch as said b4 , well lets hope so-
