Do you think I will have to replace the slave cylinder? I fought this write up http://www.venturers.org/Tech_Library/?action=article&cat_id=002006&id=397

I did about 150 miles Friday could not see any leaks when I stopped but the next morning a little puddle of clutch fluid, so you were dead on. I will look up the fix - Julius

Thanks djh3 I am about put the bike back together . It looks like the clutch cylinder would be hard to get to, is there a trick? - Julius

Thanks for the quick reply Art. I am still skeptical that it is the out side plugs, because of where where it seems to be leaking from, but I hope your right. I guess the parts are likely cheap so might as well replace them. PO said he changed the coolant(maybe not flushed) but you are right looks like a lot of rust coming down. - Julius

here is another picture of where I think the leak is coming from.

update it was a leaking slave cylinder I bought the rebuild kit and the bike is no longer leaking Hello Riders I have only put around 250 miles on my new to me 1998 Royal Star, so I am still learning about this bike and her issues. After my last ride around 120 miles round trip, I parked the bike in the garage and the next morning found a puddle of coolant on the floor it continued to pee for about a day and since has slowed. I looked up coolant leaks on this forum and found that the air fin cover had common leaks behind them. so I pulled those off and they look good the leak seems to be coming from below the clutch cylinder under the engine, I don't even know how I would access that area. I took some pictures to show the area it is leak from. Also I checked the coolant res and refilled it; it only needed a little added. sorry for the bad pictures. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Julius.
