hugh_b Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Hi, Hoping someone can help.... I've had my new sherco for a few weeks and noticed after the first ride a little oil residue near the slave cylinder lower bolt and on the engine casing (very small amount). Today upon closer inspection i noticed that the o-ring that seals the slave cylinder casing to the engine casing was moving slightly when the clutch lever is pulled. I removed the slave cylinder and found the seal had been broken upon installation...no big deal as it's only a £0.60 part. However the oil was engine oil, should engine oil be in this area or should it be sealed within the engine and this seal is just designed to keep dirt/dust out? Thanks Hugh Edited October 13, 2012 by hugh_b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timp Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 The rod that the slave cylinder pushes goes into the clutch basket so it will be trasmission fluid. Quite normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
