Down the right hand side by any chance?

If yes then its most likely the clutch cover. Do a tour with an 8mm socket just to check nothing's worked loose. The covers are plastic and have been known to warp.

Likely the clutch push rod seal, or the output shaft seal.

Once you look behind the sprocket cover and clean it up a bit, you'll know which one is the problem.

:stupid If it is the push rod seal, look at replacing it with the SV seal. Pretty easy mod and a better seal.

Possibly is the clutch cover. Leak path tracks round the cover across the sump and ends up trailing off of the protective vane in front of the drain plug. Well that's what mine is doing.

You have to make the hole in the retainer a bit larger or you can just order the SV retainer. Easy either way. :thumbup

The sprocket nut will not stop the leak if it is coming from the output shaft.


Here is the story (with photos) on the SV1000 push rod seal.
