Kieth,
I think Dave Richardson covers the fix for the push-rod leak in
Guzziology. I'm at work now, so I can't confirm. If I recall, you can
get a couple of o-rings to replace the dodgy torus-shaped original seal.
Careful when you pull out the throwout bearing- those little needles
sometimes come out of their holder!
Cheers,
Jason

| The other leak I have a real question on and need advice is the trans. I figured out it is definitely coming out of that seal (don't know what it's called) that moves in and out when you pull the clutch, on the back case of the trans. It is wet/grimy, and after a ride, the gear oil leaks down and drips off the rear case. Is there some sort of gear oil seal sweller to fix this or does it flat out need to be changed? How hard/how much to fix? Last question, I'm still getting a metallic grinding type of noise, sort of clatter like too up front, definitely in the gen/gen belt area it seems. I took a look at the new belt and it is fine, can't figure out what the noise is but it scares me, I'm waiting for the big boom as I'm riding. I noticed when manually turning the motor, the pulley seems to make a grinding noise, don't know why. Any clue what would be causing this noise? As stated earlier, the bike is running great, just this noise has me concerned, perhaps it is normal (i.e. the timing gears) and the old gaskets giving way here and there. Appreciate the help/advice.
