Default Primary Seals Leaking

How many of you have experienced your primary seals leaking? What exactly was it when you got in there? Lets here what you have to say.

My just started its running down the back of the primary I lost about 4oz's in 3 days of riding in over 100 degree weather. I have 35 k on the bike and she has never leaked this is bad and its a mess. Looks like I am in for a good 350 bucks to get her to stop bleeding and I wanted a new V/P clutch that was next on the list. Thought about doing it myself but not going to with the time involved in getting the tools I will need and the time it will take me stealer said he can do it in a 2 hours. Probably should replace the belt too why the primary case is off.

That sounds like the shifter seal. It is pretty common.

It not leaking from up there its coming from the pully shaft area on the back of the primary nothing that far forward up by the shifting shaft. Just a bummer this time of year.
