Just rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder with a rebuild kit from Dennis Kirk. I noticed the bike was dripping oil when running for a while if the outside air temp was over 90 or so. I took the plate off and noticed that the oil didn't smell like engine oil and eventually traced the leak back to the weep hole in the slave cylinder (I went for a ride with the plate off, parked the bike, cleaned the area, and waited to see if I coud find a droplet). The repair itself was straight forward as outlined in the service manual except that I had to clean out a lot of gummy fluid mixed with aluminum corrosion dust. I had to bleed more fluid through it that I would have thought before the lever got stiff again. I'm only posting this to help people out who may be slightly 'mechanically challenged' and had never done one of these like me. If anyone comes across this post now or many years later, please comment if you have questions and if I still have a reddit account I will answer.
