push rod seal? / shifter oring where......

[Kcwiro]

Ok I have been trying to find this push-rod seal for my 80 gs750e and I cannot for the life of me find it in the fishe. I have seen the other threads for a 83 and am i stupid to think it ha one so should I?....

I ask as there is the portland tuner thing and I doing my oil pump oring there.... issue is the shifter seal oring if it needs to be replaced needs the clutch out too... was hoping not to have to disconnect my clutch twice and tackle that when I am there.

I already looked around my oil pan after cleaning it off and the seal on that looks just fine...I did starter oring last year, I am thinking the leak is in 1 of 3 places.

1 - shift lever oring (requires clutch removal to pull out the shaft and switch the oring)
2. counter sprocket seal... I was moving this guy around when I did my 530 conversion...perhaps I dislodged the seal when I tightened it back down?
3. clutch pushrod seal....(do I have one of these or am i just schematic challenged)

help me oh guru's of GS Wisdom.....I somehow expect to be called a noob from one of you guys...(you know who you are)

Your bike doesn't have a clutch pushrod.

 

[blowerbike]

your model has the ratchet mechanism...not the worm gear with the push rod.

Not that I'm any kind of "guru", but I couldn't resist.

What's leaking Scott?

Thats what I was thinking always good to be sure thanks for the confirmation...I didn't have a push rod.... not the worm gear thingy... that giberish to me....

I going to have to look under the sprocket cover tomorrow when it is light out...hopefully it will be more apparent then.. right now all I know is I leave the bike on the side stand when I get home from work in the morning and it is a small puddle by time I go to leave for work in the afternoon. Annoying for sure, I know without looking at it physically cannot be sure but sprocket cover leaving this kind of puddle I would think shifter o-ring or counter sprocket seal is only thing in this spot that could be leaking...I have hunch I am looking at the counter sprocket seal..... Since it seemed to have gotten worse after counter sprocket was done I betting it is that...

I'll post pics tomorrow...just hope I find it as this is not something I want to leave unfixed before summer trip season gets in high gear...that and oil leaking near my rear tire gives me the creeps even if it only a drip...

Only two possibilities now....

Moved... was I so tired this morning I posted in the wrong forum?> lol

There are three seals under the sprocket cover. The gear indicator o-ring, countersprocket seal and shifter shaft seal.
Be careful and pay close attention to the mystery hole near the cover. This can leak oil from a stator cover, starter o-ring, cam chain, rear valve cover and rear head gasket.

From all the ones you listed I am hoping it is counter sprocket seal...do not wanna have to do a head gasket again as I tackled that my... several years aog on inital topend rebuild which I destroyed new cams and all and had to replace....I need to go to hardware store and get myself some allen head sockets... using the hand ones I have to take these screws off is a PITA...work has been a bear all week I will look at this when I am off thursday

Update:
I checked around the chain tensioner, valve cover, and peaked in the starter cover no oil leaks I can see....Top of motor looks dry of leaks from when I washed the motor off to help locate them. Going to hardward store tomorrow to get my allen head sockets. Obviously if I need a seal I likely SOL unless I find this leak under my counter sprocket cover and the stealer happens to have it in stock... 'I really hope it is the counter sprocket or gear sensor that is weaping' .... least that I can do without having to take clutch out again...

Ok well after the tuning party I did not dive into my clutch at all.. on my way down my stator cover appeared to be leaking seems my weak point may be easier to fix after all... stripped one of the stator cover bolts though so now I have to fix that. Will do once I get a decent DIY cut. Right now I just driving...I am bike overworked for this week and have other things to do
