Car Diagnose (here's the damage)
This is what the print out said that I got from Bassitt:
Diagnose for an overheat and steam under hood fount to have an oil leak at the dist and vtec screen and seal. Leak has caused the heater hose to soften and leak remove and install new vtec screen and seal and seal at the dist. Install new hose front head to temp control valve.
Preform cooling system flush by draining cooling system completely. Refill system with a cleaner and run engine. Fresh water flush system. add new coolant, coolant protection is good to -34 degrees. Pressure test radiator and cooling system. Check for proper T stat operation. Confirm heater and defroster are working properly. Rest test Vehicle and confirm proper gauge operation. Remove oil pan drain plug and drain oil, remove the oil filter and clean mounting surface. Inspect for damage and or wear. Install new oil filter, reinstall drain plug. Refill with fresh oil. Check and refill all fluid levels as needed. Lube suspension and drive train. Perform oil / filter and lube system. Remove all necessary bracket, belts, hoses, accessories and timing cover to facilitate timing belt renewal. Align all timing marks, loosen tensioner, remove timing belt, inspect all guides pullies and idlers, install new belt, confirm proper timing, install all covers accessories, belts hoses and brackets. Position in place and tighten all v belts to proper tension, start engine, scope and set factory standard **note: install cam and crank seals tensioner, water pump, drive belts during the service ** note note: still has some oil see page under vehicle. Pan or maybe some out of the rear main seal should pressure wash and recheck.
Recommended repairs:
1.) Clutch Master and slave
2.) Tune complete
3.) Brake Inspection
4.) Oil pan gasket
5.) CV boots or axles
Parts: $424.90
Labor: $643.64
Env Fee: $12

Well I did get the rear main seal changed there when they did the clutch so if that is where it leaks than it is still under warranty
If the rear main is leaking, it can ruin your new clutch disc also!
Distributor O rings leak in those things all of the time.
Why do they want you to replace the clutch master and slave? Are you leaking hydrolic fluid?
Axles only cost about $50 more each than new cv boots - no matter what, I recommend opting for the whole axle unless you can do the boots yourself.
Hope this helps.....
How many miles are on the car?
Well they said that the hydrolic fluid levels were low. I think they assumed that it was leaking. I figure that if my clutch stops working maybe that'll be a good time to change it but I haven't had any problems and have driven it for 2 years.
The car has 160K miles.
Hydrolic fluid is kind of like antifreeze and a/c refridgerant - it circulates rather than getting 'used.' I hope they topped off the reservoir for you.
Some 'evaporation' can be chalked up to time. You would know if there is a problem....your clutch pedal will feel soft and mushy and not return like it should. I wouldnt worry.
When was the last time you changed the oil on it?
haaa. When WAS the last time you changed the oil on that bugga?
I change the oil every 3 months.
Had a problem myself with a timing belt, though Martin at http://www.halifaxbearings.com sorted me out. Stocks all sorts of dodge bearings too which is nice. :)
