Pull the clutch lever in and tie it in that position. This will keep pressure on the system while you look for the leak.

SM5 Slave Cylinder Repair.

The issue is worn "O" rings in the slave cylinder of the clutch. The fluid is pulled thru the slave cylinder and into the engine.
this is a very common problem for SM5s. the repair has been well researched and documented.

See post #17 for details by Youngers for performing the needed repair.

Try This....

Sorry... apparently uploading pictures is not functioning.:banghead: but there is a small black plastic cover, three bolts, that when removed will show you if the slave cylinder is leaking. His cover is just below the bleeder valve for the clutch on the clutch cover left side of engine. If leaking replace o-ring and away you go...:thumbup:

Beat me to it. Replace the O rings.

i was indeed able to fix the 08 with o rings but on the 2015 it appears that the diaphragm is the slave cylinder. has anybody tried just replacing the diaphragm????

is that just the sm5. i have a sm6. ????
