I found the same thing. The O-ring itself will start to weep. Buy a good
magnet to draw the body out and examine then replace the o-ring. The
vent is the other likely source/cause. Otherwise, the 4-speeds tend to
be leak and trouble free.

Chances are good it's the o ring on the clutch plunger, not a gasket.
My
Ambo leaked like crazy there because the plunger just runs in the alloy
and
wore it to the point that the o ring wouldn't hold back the oil.

Also check the plug on the trany by the neutral switch to make sure the
vent
is open.

Loopers,
The V700 I'm working on had the entire rear of the transmission caked
in
 decades old grease. She's a-leakin' somewhere! Can I remove the small
cover
 to replace the gasket without disturbing the shift mechanism? I'd
really
 rather not have the springs, pawls, & plungers take off for the
darkest
 corners of the garage-PING!! surprise surprise.
How about the transmission rear cover? Can it be removed & replaced
w/out
 having to take the mechanism under the small cover apart? The
disassembly
 description in the old 700-750 Guzzi shop manual makes it appear that
the
 shift mechanism comes out w/the small cover, then the main cover can
be
 removed, but I've been bitten by that book before! What's the
experience
of
 the list 4-speed experts?
