[QUOTE="gator kdx, post: 728581, member: 36274"] I noticed a couple of drops of oil on my garage floor and I traced it to an area near the push rod bolt (on the left side - near the flywheel). Anyhow, it seems that the chain somehow nicked the case near where the push rod connects to the clutch cable. First and foremost, I am looking for suggestions on how to fix this without replacing the left half of the case. The crack where the oil is leaking is not visible - the oil seems to almost 'sweat' or 'weep' out. I probably get 1-2 drops of oil on the garage floor per day. I heard it may be possible to tack weld the area with the motor still intact? If that is not an option I could always try jb weld. However, I've had very mixed results with the jb weld and am somewhat hesitant to try it. The second question is, should the push rod area be wet? I can't tell from the schematics in my service manual if oil should be able to flow from the clutch area down the push rod. I'm hoping that perhaps this area is supposed to be dry and I can just replace an oil seal and then jb weld the case for extra peace of mind. By the way, the bike is a 2001 yz250. Thanks, John [/QUOTE]
