Oil leaking from clutch cable adjuster

Why have I got oil coming out of the adjuster in the middle of the clutch cable on my 02 dyna?

Welcome to the forum.

Check the vent hose on the transmission cover for any blockage; it can get blocked with crud, or even insects can think it's a good home...

Same thing happened on my son's sportster, it was definitely the vent hose. Cleaned out a bug nest and fixed it.

So the vent gets blocked and the pressure forces the trans fluid up the clutch cable?
