K75 Transmission Fluid Leak

[burnszilla]

I noticed tranny oil leaking from my K75C. It's sprayed all over the inside left of the bell housing near the swing arm. The rubber clutch rod boot is dry as a bone. The gear shift seal is dry. I can't tell where the oil is coming from. Unless its oil from the old boot leak. Perhaps I should just clean it up and see if it leaks again.

Check the transmission fluid level, and make sure that nothing is coming out the transmission breather vent, which is located under the battery tray.

Nothing coming out of there.
I cleaned it up today I think it was oil left over from the old leaky boot.
We'll see.

After you've completely degreased all surface areas, try spraying some antiperspirant over the affected areas. The source of the leak, if any, will be easier to isolate as any escaping oil gets soaked up by the powder in the spray leaving a trace/track.

Canadians don't even know what anti-perspirant is. Its cold up north.

That's why our beer is so good eh.
