2012 1199s w/abs: oil leak from push rod

hi guys i have the same issue with the oil leak do you guys have pictures? please let me know thank you
 
mine started to leak, we have fitted similar O rings similar to the older style motors, 996 etc.
with 2 O rings fitted, clutch action was fine and leak seems to have been controlled.
 
I don’t know if it was the same problem or not, but last winter I had a leak around my slave. It was a simple slave replacement. More factory slave and labor was actually a little j dear $300. I believe the problem was related to a rod seal but I’m not 100%. If I get a chance I look to see what the work order says. I’m not home right now though.
 
i noticed my leak as a black streak of oil on the left side Exhaust can, when i cleaned it a few times thinking it was chain lube, i found that the rubber lower part of the front sprocket cover mount was full with oil and not chain lube.
i also had first thoughts that the clutch slave was defective, but no loss of fluid was apparent.
after we made 2 grooves on the Clutch push rod with a lathe, 2 o-rings were fitted, similar to the technique to the 996 etc motors, and th leak as stopped. it was a mistake when the engine was overhauled not to change this seal, and as part of the rebuild process, i would be rather careful inserting the shaft on a new seal ( a dab of grease or oil first i would guess)
 
I am having same issue with 1199 2012 push rod leak. First it was mostly clutch fluid, replaced stock slave with oberon. Now its just oil that is leaking, pulled rod, cleaned and checked the oring you can barely see 20mm ish inside the hole, the oring is there and appears good, but still have this seeping leak. Looking for any help here guys! Need more info on the two oring solution.

My 2012 1199s just started leaking from the same spot. Can we not just pull out the oring seated in the case from the shaft hole and replace with a new oring? All without opening the case?
 
No. It’s not an o ring. It is a oil seal and it is installed inside the case. You have to split the case to remove it. There wear a handful of 1299 motors built with an additional external o ring in the case.

So the best fix is to grove the rod and install 2 orings as others seems to have done. Want to avoid tearing the bike apart.
