V70 T5 5 speed oil leak causing clutch slippage

Today I hopped in my 98 V70 T5 5 speed and drove for about 15 minutes, getting on it a little occasionally and all was good, I then parked for about an hour and when I started driving again and got on it, as soon as my car hit boost my clutch started slipping like it's completely toast. I got on it 2 more times to make sure and it slipped again. I pulled over and noticed a substantial amount of oil on top of the transmission especially where it mates to the engine and a good amount on the whole bottom of the transmission. I replaced the clutch and rms when I bought the car 3 months ago (the rms was the reason the clutch went before). I'm thinking it could be the pcv but I'm not entirely sure because it was all of a sudden. Any ideas on things to check? I know I'm know going to have to replace my clutch again but need to make sure I figure this out so it doesn't happen all over again

Have you checked crankcase pressure at all? Sounds kind of like you blew out the new RMS again, unfortunately.
