I'm pretty sure it's the oil seal on the final output shaft. Could use some advice on removing that seal. Thanks!

Removing oil seal advice needed.
Seems the 550 has taken up old Britbike manners. Park her in a friends driveway and she leaves a small puddle of oil...

Re: Removing oil seal advice needed.
If that is the seal that is leaking it may be a tough one. Some of the GS series bikes do not allow the removal of the output shaft seal unless you split the case.Originally posted by jimcorSeems the 550 has taken up old Britbike manners.

I agree with SqDancerLynn1: check the clutch pushrod seal. My 1981 550L was leaving a puddle of oil, and when I finally traced it down it came from the pushrod seal. About $10 at the dealer and easy to replace. No oil in the garage now. (at least from my bikes. The cars are a different matter).

After reading Hap's post I really hope I have to go buy a clutch pushrod seal. I'll even eat the $16 bucks I spent on the other seal with a smile 'cuz
I'm not splitting the cases...
Just stick some BSA badges on her??
