Oil Leak, left cover.

I think I am leaking from this seal, I believe it is a clutch push rod seal. Look for verification.

I leak oil, a fair amount too. I just road the bike 3 miles since I got the carbs and filters cleaned and new tires put on.

I still need to change the oil but can't seem to find OEM oil filters anywhere. I noticed one person saying you can clean the oil filter. I don't know if cleaning the oil filter is a good idea. Any thoughts?

Well anyways, here are the pictures and where I believe the oil is coming from. I also have a video I posted on youtube while I wiggle the shaft around. Let me know if that is too much play in the shaft.

Looks like the bushing is shot too.

Getting ready to replace all the seals including this and the bushing on mine as well.

The grime is washed away where the rod goes through, so you can tell it's leaking from there. Another thing know about is the seal behind the sprocket. If the big nut is not tight, it will allow that seal to leak. Tightening the nut to spec fixes it. The nut is often just finger tight, which is scary.

Man... Mikes is out of the one piece push rod.
