Hi. Have noticed a small drip of oil from the rubber boot where the clutch pushrod is located. What's that all about then?

Boot is torn, probably at the top, needs a replacement.

It also could be that it`s leaking between the boot and actuator arm.

If so, remove and clean boot and the contact area at the arm (use solvent to get all traces of oil removed, I did use acetone, sparingly).
Apply some gasket sealant in this area (I`ve used Permatex black RTV) put together and let it cure over night.

(I did this work with both arm and boot removed from the bike, not necessery but easier to get the parts clean).

I've got the same problem, it's so slight that i've just left it. It keeps the original centre stand coated. Lol
