In my case, certainly it was the shaft seal. On the V7ii, no window to check, so pulling the starter is the next easiest way to find a leak. In my case I could actually see the fluid starting to leak between the clutch housing and the block, then pulled the starter to verify.
Bikes mostly back together now so we will see what the housing looks like after some riding, if it’s still showing signs of a leak, I’ll go back at the plug. I’m rerouting some hoses and plugs in a way that I like better than what they were.
I’ll be servicing the brakes and replacing a few clamps. Interestingly Ive found MG has messed up a few of their part numbers on the clamps. I’ll post about that later.
Here’s how it’s currently sitting.
