Oil leak

[JamesGriff]

I have a 2000 KX 250, it is leaking oil where the clutch goes into the motor. (the clutch cable) How do I fix it? and am I going to have to tear apart the motor to get to it?

You can replace the seal on the clutch release lever. Remove the clutch cover to expose the clutch remove the outer clutch plate and pull the clutch rod out. Then you can pull the clutch release lever out.

So would that be pretty easy to fix? lol I'm completly new to this and have never worked on a bike befor.

Its easy for sure but if you have never did anything like this and plan on keeping the bike you should think about investing in a repair manual. This won't be the only time it will come in handy.

So your pretty sure its just the seal that I need to order? or do I need to get it apart and find out befor I order anything?

I was wrong its not leaking out of where the clutch goes into the motor. It is leaking out of the sprocket... So I think I just need to replace the sprocket seal instead of the clutch release seal (Correct)??

Thanks for any help or advice. I just bought the bike yesterday and was not expecting to have to replace anything this soon.
