Default CMC replacement and slave cylinder

I took a look at the DIY posts about the CMC and the slave cylinder, and I wanted to double check if I should buy any other parts from Honda Automotive.
HondaAutomotiveParts.com
Im purchasing part #8 and #10. is there anything else that is needed?

About 500 miles ago I noticed a small drop of oil (either transmission or engine oil), around the bolt that is covered with blk silicone. I noticed that it was a little wet so I cleaned it up and applied a sealant around the bolt to ensure that it was not going to leak before I could afford a new clutch and replace the clutch plus the seals at the same time. My clutch is fine and does not act up one bit, so im trying to bypass time. Anyways I never seen a Honda leak from this area, the rest of the bolts are bone dry. It is a little odd for that ONE bolt to have oil on it. I don't see any forms of undercarriage damage that could knock my transmission. I hope it is not anything serious. I'm pretty concern about this problem, my car is a daily driver and I put about 400 miles on it a week! My plan was to never sell this Honda, but I don't want to be overhead on repair bills. Does this issue seem serious to you? I am a little OCD about my car and I don't see any signs of fluids. What is your hypothesis on why there was oil there?



I also been reading through this post: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/599...from-bad-seal/ and it was not clear on the problem. When I purchased the car I noticed there was an over spill of oil around the "oil fill hole". Is it possible that the man or woman who was filling up the oil missed and oil could somehow roll down to the transmission? Again am unsure what type of fluid I saw, but my guess is that it is coming out of that bolt. Ever sense I put that blk sealant around it I cannot see/feel any evidence of a leak.

There is no fluid behind that bolt, so sealing it will be useless.

It is either the slave leaking, or a rear main engine seal.

Being that your engine is super clean and appears low mile, it is very likely that the oil came from the spill that happened in the past.

Remove the silicone, clan it all up and monitor it for a while.

"There is no fluid behind that bolt, so sealing it will be useless."
Well that was a fail on my part, and I have been monitoring for about 500 miles or so and I haven't seen anything else under it. I read a lot on the the rear main seal leaking and cannot find any other symptoms. Yesterday I jacked the car up to look at the surrounding area's and felt around the transmission and didn't find any oil, so perhaps its just taking a while to make it's way down again, ill keep on monitoring it.

Anyways is part #8 and #10 all I need for a CMC and slave cyl replacement? or should I get some other supporting parts?
