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?

yeah sounds like seal and bushing, you didn't say but do you still have the stock three piece clutch push rod? that little final stub seems to wear the bushing a lot more that the after-market one piece long rod
