OIL LEAKS! God how I hate 'em!

The only thing that I had off the bike even remotely connected with oil wat the stator cover and the oil plug. I thought I had it beat when I re-did the stator cover gasket, again, with TONS of Silicone Blue to ENSURE a good fit.

All seemed well with arround town riding. No leaks no drops no nothing!

Yesterday I went on a ride upisland with the group. Nope. No oil spots when we stopped after an hour and a half of highway blasting. Still good after the next coffee stop 30 minutes latter.

Whoooo hoioooo

So I get ready to go to work this morning, head out to the bike.... and there is a HUGE oil puddle under it! WTF!


Help me before I do something horrible!

Clean the bottom of the engine and warm it up to see were the leak is. My bike started to leak after an ordinary oilchange and I thought the plug was bad. After cleaning the engin (it really needed a clean) I saw the oil was comming from the left side (Chain cover). Another cleaning (even worse) unveiled the bad clutch pushrod seal.

The only thing I can see beside the chain sprocket, is what looks like an oil return line, it goes to an oval item that is held on by two bolts. One is a dedicated bolt, the other is part of the chain cover.

Is this what I am looking at?
