What is Up with These Clutches!?

No, the seals in the OEM CSC are slowly failing. Heat makes it worse, but they are failure prone regardless of fluid used. It's a bad design from the beginning.

If the seals are failing, wouldn't I be experiencing leaks and fluid loss? My fluid level hasn't changed in months.

Listen to Chuck, dude. The seals are gradually failing. If it's the CSC, when they finally fail, it will be sudden, and you will lose clutch function. Fluid will get all over your bell housing and possibly on your clutch. Not good. With the CMC seals, you will notice the pedal starting to get mushy before they fail.
