Clutch Shaft Oil

[CR500PHIL]

I have a simple question - is there oil around the short clutch shaft that runs parallel to the chain? IE. Does the does the oil stop at a seal right before the clutch cable connector right before the stator casing or inside aaround the longer clutch shaft? My quander is whether or not a crack before the chain to the short clutch shaft casing could cause an oil leak or if the oil never comes into that part of the casing. I am finding this rather hard to explain as you can perhaps detect.

There is a seal on that shaft, I know because I replaced it on my 1990 and now on my AF it's leaking and I'm getting a little oil on the flywheel! Of course I need to re seal my entire engine though also!

Thanks - ok so it could leak although I do not think it ever did and there is nothing in the stator casing so I think the seal is ok. I cannot wait for my service manual to get here so I can consult it on these matters.

It's probably small, but here is a break down pic of the cases. You can see the shaft and seal.

I printed a copy of each fiche for the motor for reference until my manual arrives - good advice.
