Somebody got a little wild with the cable lube? You mean oil is dripping off at the clutch lever right? If you over oil the cable from the lever when you are adjusting the clutch, after you reassemble it and lock your steering over to the left the lever is oriented in a downhill position and Mr. Isaac Newton and his gravity take over and the lube starts heading for the ground. Don't worry...it will stop after you have wiped it off about 15 times...

Oh yeah....don't ask how I know this...

BTW, welcome to the forum. Now go to the new members section and introduce yourself.
