1984 FJ1100 - Leak on lower left-side?

[1tinindian]

Kudos...You did good Leon. That was also my first thought but I was diverted when he said oil.......

I did not think about the clutch push rod seal, that's a good one.

Within the past couple of days, I have rebuilt my slave cylinder, using the seal kit from RPM, and was happily surprised to find the push rod seal included....ATTA-BOY Randy!

By the way Pat, how often do you see a slave cylinder polished??
I've been busy working on my bike and when finished, it will have a number of changes that I will discuss in its own thread.

(Come Colorado rally time, I know there is going to be alot of very nice looking FJs attending and I don't want to look outa place!)

So, you're busy removing the pink stripe?

Haven't you heard Randy, there may be up to 4 pink-stripers at the rally.
It's going to be a good rally, with manly men and pink stripe bikes! LOL!

Meh, I quit looking at that thread weeks ago.

Guys,
Boy I'm not having a good time here with this one! Wait to you hear my story. Its one of those you can't believe its true. I have to run right now because I'm working (on Easter Sunday) and I have to get back to it.
All I have time to say right now is the leak is from the main seal, not the clutch at all. It sure seems like #24, #25, and possibly #26 are at fault here. Two bad notes is that I've already paid for the clutch seal rebuild kit and it hasn't leaked a drop, so i have to return them. Also, I found out why the main shaft seals have failed. One of my neck bandannas that disappeared one night was found wrapped up tighter than you know what, around my engine drive sprocket!! (#27) It took me over an hour to get all the pieces out. I think that all the excess friction in that tight spot was what made the seals fail. After cleaning and disassemble, I saw a perfectly formed oil leak coming out of the bottom of #24. Aint that the Devil's Piss!!!

Actually 24 & 25, with the emphasis being 25.

Randy - RPM

Actually, you need 24 more than 25. 25 is a small o-ring that goes behind the steel spacer that I have never replaced.

Randy, I'm going to e-mail you again to try and buy these 3 seals from you. Not sure why mine had to go, and you never had to replace one in 16+ years! I guess I'm just lucky like that (LOL).

...After cleaning and disassemble, I saw a perfectly formed oil leak coming out of the bottom of #24.

Here ya go; Transmission Output Shaft Seal

Glad you found the source and cause of the leak.

Good find, I am still not sure where my leak is yet. I got it all cleaned up and ran the bike on the center stand, shifted through gears, had fans going to make sure she was good and hot. But no luck. I gotta take her on short run and check again. Unless you are on a really tight budget, keep the slave kit, you will need it down the road. The seals won't last forever.

How do we explain the main seal leaking brake/clutch fluid, as stated earlier?

And that whole bandana thing has me wondering...WHAT THE HELL!?

Oh hell yeah, I take great pride in my pink stripe.
It's a one year only detail amongst ALL the years of FJ production, and that is outstanding in itself.
Much more outstanding than all those red and white bikes that seem soooo common, that nearly EVERYBODY has one or knows of someone with one.

I look forward to meeting you Baldy...is it rally time yet!?

Nothing to see here, move along...       

Is the oil leak sorted yet?

[andyb]

Honestly, wouldn't surprise me if there was more than one thing leaking here.
