Godfather Congrat's on the car. For the clutch, you may have to bleed it a couple of times to get all the air out. You have a return spring on the clutch fork? After you know all the air is out, you can adjust the rod up for the fork. You don't want the thrownout bearing rubbing on the pressure plate. The motor sits 1" off to the right when in the car. Make sure you centered the motor in the mount when it was installed. Should be even in both mounts. You want the side pipes to be away from the car about 2" and centered in the side holes. This is for movement of the motor. If the pipes are too close, you will have peeling paint on the fenders. Not good. Could the leak be coming from the air bleed in the rad? The valve may need to be a LITTLE tighter? Use fingers ONLY, no wrenchs or other tools. Get a couple of trips on the car and then good back through every nut and bolts and recheck. The is just breakin pains.
