So I was up late last night degreasing the crap out of the area under the left side clutch cover so I could find the exact spot of the little oil leak I've had for sometime. So I cleaned it up pretty good, also found the main sprocket to be loose so I tightened that, and took her for a short ride this morning. Bike seemed to be performing fine when I look down and notice that it is gushing oil out from under the side cover. WTF? Had I not stopped riding when I did I probably would have seized the engine, it was literally gushing. So I open the side cover and it hard to tell exactly where the leak was coming from, but it looks like the clutch pushrod seal... It was only a drip before I cleaned everything out... now its a gushing mess!!
I did remove the clutch pushrod to degrease it, but other than that I can think of nothing that I did that may have made the leak worse. Unless all that gunk in there was somehow keeping the leak from being worse... The bushing is a little loose and there is some play. Oil appears to be coming from the inner part of the seal where the bushing is... I don't know where to go from here... Could the clutch pushrod seal really gush oil like that?
