79 GS750 Clutch release pin oil seal

[Guest]

Got an oil leak coming out of my crank case... Suspect the clutch pin as shown in the picture. I cleaned up the engine a bit.
Does anyone know if you can seal this up from the outside with actually not having to open the entire crank case!

There is an oil seal behind there (PN 09283-08001), just wondering if anyone has had leaks from there?
Also I have about 1/4" play in the pin rod, is this normal?

The picture should be rotate 90 degrees clockwise

So took the sprocket off and this is what I found, appears the chain somehow rubbed this out a bit and I strongly suspect this is where the crank case leak is coming from.
Chain must have been too loose
Wondering if there is any way to seal this from the outside. Maybe use some RTV gasket material? I know I know... not the right way, but only care about sealing the leak

If you can get it totally free of oil then RTV will probably work.

I recently changed my sprocket and adjusted the clutch at the helix (?). The rod would move in and out (left and right while sitting on the bike) but I don't remember it having any wiggle in its bore.
