Just happened to see your thread while looking for something else.
And all can pardon me if this has been said ad nauseum!
I hope you used a thread-locking compound on the bolts. They can and do
work themselves loose. Part of the value of the thread-locker is keeping oil
from working into the threads. There is of course oil on the other side of the
flywheel hub of the crank.
Whenever doing clutch or flywheel work, I would always recommend pulling the
bell housing and regasketing it. Those bolts MUST have thread-locker, or
you will find that oil begins to drip from the bell housing at some point.
Then the drip turns into a stream as the heads of the bell housing bolts get
polished against the back side of the flywheel.
I remember that from 1971, the second time I took the drive train out of the
Corsa.
