Well I have a 2003 ST1300 with 25,000 miles on it and noticed that over a period of time I was loosing clutch fluid but could not figure where. Well I figured where unfortunately, it is coming from the weep hole at the slave clutch cylinder. "Clutch works fine" just the annoying leak as I have to refill clutch reservoir from time to time.
This might be a silly question but is it a problem to just apply a RTV sealant over the weep hole? I know the inner oil seal and or piston seal needs to be replaced but since the clutch works fine would it cause and issue with the slave cylinder piston to not work properly and or other issues? The cost to pull engine and replace slave clutch cylinder is about $90.00 and hour, Honda indicates seven hours labor= $630.00, so your looking at about $900.00 for the job after taxes and parts. Lets just round it off at $1000.00
