If your leak is small you can clean our the flinger holes in the outside clutch . There is 3 holes [I think ] just outside the clutch . These get pluged up with grease . The idea is for any oil leak to be sprayed out befor it can get on the belt . Don't be afraid to tear onto the clutch . Just 2 snap rings , there is a small button inside when you pull the oil swivel out . It goes in and to get the O ring past the smap ring you need a deep socket or a piece of pipe or even pvc pipe . Just give it a good smack . It looks a lot harder in the book than it is . I have yet to replace a swivel . Just look out for the 1 little piece .
Gearbox, thanks for the advice. I'm very familiar with the clutch shaft now so getting to them isn't a big deal. I appreciate the advice about the holes though.
Where my leak was, I noticed that the lock washer was there but there wasn't a lead washer to be found. Rather than order one, I melted down some lead, poured it in a piece of 2" pipe. Was it cooled, I chucked it up in the lathe, put a 7/8" hole in it and then faced it till it was the right thickness. Worked pretty well…that and the black RTV I put on it.
On a different but not unfamiliar note, my right rear axle seals are leaking now. Looking at it, it has the same brass sleeve on it that was on the left rear when I replaced it. I already have some seals and am think I'll just make my own sleeve this time rather than ordering one. The PO said that he had those axles done 2 years ago. Whoever did the work didn't do great with the seals, but if the bearings were replaced 2 years ago, I don't know that I was to spend the money to replace them.
I also spent some time cleaning my drive belt. I have a new one on order but with a little cleaning it is performing better. Not 100% or even 75% but it's more than it was.
One minor thing is that my alternator light isn't going off. I don't think it's charging either. It's a 10SI 3 wire. I tested it with the motor running and was only getting 12.3 volts so a bit less than the 12.5 with it not running. The alt light is hooked up correctly. I unplugged it from the alternator and the light does not come on. Not sure how to troubleshoot this thing yet.
