XL350 Oil Leak

(1/4) > >>

Craizeehair:
I’m currently looking at an XL350, it has a slight oil leak coming from where the rubber bung is on the left side case. Is this something that anyone has experienced and could advise what it could be? The clutch pushrod seems as though it could be the culprit but I’m hoping to get some first hand experience and advice if possible?

Bryanj:
Never done one but seal is possible, also gasket to crankcase

Craizeehair:
Thanks Bryan,

When you say seal, do you mean any specific one, I’m guessing worst case, split the cases and replace all seals and gaskets to cover all bases?

Bryanj:
Looking at the circular cover and gasket i suspect there is oil around the generator so there will be a gasket between that inner casing and the crankcase, i would think those cases are vertically split and seals replaceable without strip down

Bryanj:
There are different xl350 and al cms list are usa models and some split horizontaly, couple of screen shots showing pushrod seal at end of transmission shaft and lh case with gasket
