A while back I asked the List for advice on some greasy crud seeping out around 
my clutch M/C boot.  Thought I'd report 
the results.

I pulled the M/C and determined the crud was just some grease that had been 
applied by the manufacturer to lubricate 
where the pushrod pushes against the piston (at least one person suggested this 
possibility).  The inside of the 
cylinder showed some wear and the pushrod holes were a bit elongated so I 
decided to replace it.  The new M/C has some 
grease in the same place.

You old pros know this, but the M/C came with instructions to bench bleed, so I 
did.   This made the bleeding process 
much easier and more effective.
