[ramsrule]

i have a 2001 tm 125 and my clutch fluid keeps dissapearing.is it leaking into the crankcase from a seal?how hard and expensive is that seal to replace?

Are you talking clutch fluid for hydraulic clutch? If so there is no way for it to leak into the crankcase, it would either be leaking at the master cylinder up on the bars or at the slave cylinder down on the motor.

ya for a hydraulic clutch.um i bleed the clutch and then everytime i pump the clutch , the level keeps going down.i have put 250ml in it already .i put a peice of cardboard on the ground underneath and nothing is dripping on it.

You must still have some air in the system somewhere. I'm not sure what brand clutch you have or the proper bleeding method, but you might be able to find some directions by doing a search on Google.

your positive that it cant leak into the crankcase?

Not 100% but I've never seen a hydraulic clutch setup that was internal to the cases in any way. You should have the master cylinder, a hose, and a slave cylinder. The slave cylinder should have a rod that when the clutch lever is pulled moves out and pushes the arm that is the linkage that pushes out on the pressure plate and disengages the clutch (I hope that made sense). A photo is worth 1,000 words, if you can get a pic of your setup post it up!
