Oil Leak
Hi Bry,
Sad to hear about your on-going problem, as it spoiling a great bike,
This is just a thought, take it or leave it,
If, and it is an if, the chain has been too tight at some stage, the rubber lip of the oil seal is capable of grooving the output shaft in one particular point,
Renewing the oil seal will not cure the fault, because the lip of the new seal ends up in exactly the same place, ie in the groove,
The remedy is either a new shaft and seal, or to fit a 'spacer' in front of the seal, so that the lip registers on a full diameter unmarked portion of shaft,
The 'spacer' only has to be a couple of mil to effect the cure
