from mikesxs
14. Q. Oil leaks from my engine . Where is it coming from ?
A. Likely from the Clutch pushrod oil seal. This seal was never designed to be replaced without splitting the cases but can be if you are carefull. The seal hole should be chamfered (razor knife will do it) and the new seal must be tapped in place very straight & square to the hole (coat the seal edge with gasket cement first). Repeat if it does not work first time.

Hi skull, i have been rebuilding a 1982 XJ550 for a while now.....but then i dropped the XS and so needed some new external parts...brake handle etc. since i was ordering parts i decided to get some new needles...new ATU...new foot peg rubbers....spare handles..etc...and then at the last minute i remembered the small leak...so without researching i ordered two seals...which means i have one chance left!!!

You can put the seal in the freezer overnight to firm it up; that's how I did mine.

If you don't divit the ends of the rods correctly to center the activity .........then changing seals and bushings can be a regular thing...........wobble ..wobble...wobble ...like the ole truck tire when you engage the clutch.........ah but who rides them far enouth to find out.........
