Clutch Cover Leaking Oil

Post by grumpy56 »

Clutch cover on my GT380 seeping oil at the bottom. Cleaned up the surfaces on case and cover, but still a small leak. I know these things are supposed to be sealed dry with a gasket, but I recall putting a new gasket and something on the bottom area of my T350 that sealed it up perfectly and didn't create a mess when I had to re-do it. Its been a while so I don't remember what I used. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Had the same problem on the T500 cafe build. First time I had this problem.
I used the same sealant as used on the crankcase halves: ThreeBond 1184. Applied a thin coat on both surfaces using a finger.

I used YamaBond on the crankcase which I think is the same as the Threebond. Will use that. Thank you.
