XL350 Oil Leak
Skoti:
I've never worked on the XL350 models, but often on the XL250 version.
That 'O' ring between the clutch operating arm and casing looks wrong, I think somebody has messed with this before.
Should be a small 'O' ring that fits on the shaft in a groove out of sight and of course a small oil seal at the other end.
Looks an interesting project.
Good luck.
Craizeehair:
Thanks all, seems that it has had some work recently, I’m not familiar with these at all but it has had a small job to rebush the clutch actuating lever, not an uncommon thing on these apparently but I don’t know, I wonder if reassembly could be the problem.

Looking at the parts diagram you are correct, I can’t see any o ring there
Bryanj:
Two possible reasons i can think of for that O ring
1 attemping to cure the oil leak
2 spacing the operating part upwards for some reason
Craizeehair:
I think you’re right about trying to cure the leak Bryan, I’m just trying to figure out if sorting the oil leak is gong to be too much to warrant the purchase. There doesn’t seem to be much info out there about these?
