It works - classic DIY fix

[mark3evo]

my 95,200 Gen2 started leaking motor oil, a couple of drips every time i stopped.

i was touring in Europe this june.

Leak traced to leaking clutch pushrod seal, the pushrod was rusty in places with worn shiny patch.

Degreased fully engine crankcase and new Push rod seal.
High temperature Silicon RTV to seal and engine casing, held in place by new pushrod with grease.
after 24 hours remount clutch slave.

Zero leak all good

my friend did that still no leak 25,000 miles later

saves taking the engine out, engine only comes out for a 1441 all motor

Soooo..... what the hell did you do?
Is that a new seal laid straight over top of the original seal, stuck down and sealed with RTV???
Lol, looks awesome lmao!

yip, a $20 fix , better than splitting motor

RTV good for 250 deg C or 480 F

Thank you for this. I own a Gen 2 with 37000kms with this annoying problem. Previous owner made a mess with poor choice of gum that did not stop the leak. I have ordered a new clutch road, seal and this same high temperature RTV sealant by Visbella. I will post my experience here after it is installed.
