The idea of the o rings on the push rod is to stop engine oil coming out of the engine. Between the two o rings you should have clean engine oil. At the slave cylinder end of it then you will find a mixture of chain lube and clutch fluid if you have a slightly leaking cyclinder. Clutch fluid and engine oil have very different smells so give em a good old sniff.

My wife thinks I spend too much time with my bike as it is. If she catches me sniffing its private places, I don't know what will happen.

Spin

Thanks for the replies. I checked last night and found the push rod wasn't spinning.

The only wet area, that I remember seeing, was inside the slave cylinder bore so I reckon it must be the seal. Anyway, I have booked it into Parkinson M/cs for them to sort it out. I intend useing the bike for the BSB at Sneterton so I hope it holds out.
