flyside oil seal. pulling the clutch in is pressing the crank against the worn seal, sealing it up again. easy fix, flywheel off, stator off(mark position for timing etc.) prise old seal out, squeeze new seal into position.replace bits in reverse order etc.

if you are doing both, you might as well do the crank bearings while you"re on with it.....and the cruciform, and piston rings, gaskets, clutch plates and springs.......
