Transmission input shaft oil seal weaping

[zert100]

Inspecting my clutches/cleaning and found some oil residue inside the clutch housing. Pulled the secondary and this is what I see. Just under 600 miles. Wondering how common this is. It's not a lot of oil but there shouldn't be any in there.

It’s not very common. If it’s just lightly moist around the seal I wouldn’t worry too much. If there’s an oil trail then it definitely needs the seal replaced.
Depending on how close you are on your warranty, I’d clean it up with brake cleaner and make sure it’s completely dry in the area, then drive it a bunch more to see if it comes back. If not, then you’re probably good. If it does, then have the dealer replace it under warranty.

Thanks. Yes, I did clean it up and I'm going to run it for a bit then reinspect. No warranty unfortunately. From the information I could gather it sounds like it's not that hard to fix the seal. I think you have to pull the inner clutch housing off and then that seal can be replaced?

I haven’t had to do one yet, but it doesn’t look too difficult. It’ll be a bit of a process getting the rear clutch housing off, but replacing the seal itself should be pretty straightforward.
