Could be more than one problem. Could be bad pressure plate as your dealer says. Could be oil from rear main as sombody elst posted. Could be a sticking clutch from rust and moisture. If you look at the bottom of housing under the flywheel, you will notice a hole with a cotter key sticking out. Be sure the cotter key can turn with your fingers. This hole is to drain oil and moisture. I have heard of fellows pulling the starter [unless yours has the timing hole for flywheel] and dumping a can of talcum power in to soak up the oil. I think a better solution would be to open her up and do it right. Until then try blocking the clutch petal down with a block of wood when you put her away.-----Michael Az.
