Default leak coming from clutch cable.

I have a cut in my clutch cable, near where it enters the case, it is dripping oil. What oil is it, is replacing the cable easy enough, how do i fill the oil back up? Please help.

Default RE: leak coming from clutch cable.

The oil is coming from you primary/transmission... Rather than just topping it off, I'd change it...

Seeing how you can't check the level without removing the derby cover... which you'll need to remove anyway to change the cable...

The procedure is in your owners manual for changing your primary oil...

You should be able to handle it with no problems...

Word of advice - Beware the quad ring - I just switched out my derby cover and knocked the d*** thing out of the groove. I will admit that I am not the most accomplished wrench, but it took me 1/2 an hour and 250 four letter words to get it back in place to stay.
