There really should be no fluid loss at all. It should not be an expected
"normal" condition.

Was under the dash putting the speedo back in and noticed a slight bit of
wetness around the rubber dust boot on the
clutch M/C. Pulled the boot off, and there was just a teensy smear of fluid
on the cyl, and a bit of dark gray greasy
crud where the pushrod goes through the retaining washer. Fluid use/loss is
negligible, about what you'd expect from
brake surface wear. The outside of the M/C is dry and clutch works fine. I
use silicone brake/clutch fluid, FWIW. The
M/C is one of the iron Lucas types Moss was selling a few years ago, and
probably 6-8 yrs-- +/- 30K miles--old.
My question to the List is: am I in danger of imminent/eventual failure of
the M/C, or is this no big deal and to be
expected, or something in between?
Bob
