Motorcycle Repair: 84 Honda 700 Magna

Question
I'm loosing oil from the left side of the crank case from a hole between the clutch slave and the gear selector cover. Dealer could not find a part in his catalog. Could this be a vent? Thanks

Answer
Bruce, it may be brake fluid and/or engine oil coming from the seal around the end of the clutch slave cylinder.

It is not a vent... crankcases vent elsewhere for vapor recovery.
