No, that's it. Thanks.

Hi Ted,

Was your swing arm connected to anything - like the rear
drive? If so,
gear oil from the rear drive will leak out of the pinion
bearings and
down the entire swing arm. This is *normal* and you just need
to make
sure you put the proper amount of lube back in the rear drive
unit.
There is no seal that prevents this from happening - nor
should there
be.

If this is not the case, then please explain further.

I took the swingarm off my '74 and set it mostly upright but
with the tranny-input end tilted a little down. After a few
days
 I had oil all over my floor. Is this normal or do I need to
replace a seal somewhere?

Also, if my intermediate clutch plate is bent is it easy to
tell? I am pretty sure it is fine and can't detect any
abnormality but don't want to put it back together unless I
am
 sure.

Thanks
Ted
