I have had an intermittent waterleak towards the rear of the engine for a while now and decided to do something about it before the up and coming warmer cruising season.I had replaced the freeze plugs, 2 on either side of the block a while back and could find no more. The water seemed to be leaking from the back of the block out of the clutch dust cover. After inspecting a spare engine i found a plug at the back behind the flywheel. So out came the gearbox, clutch & off came the flywheel. To my surprise the plug was in good condition but as the thing was in pieces i decided to replace it anyway. Upon returning from the local auto shop with said part in hand i started to remove the old one. To my SURPRISE oil came out on the plug. On further inspection i found it to be the plug at the back end of the camshaft, bugger. I had considerd posting the question of the water leak prior to commencing the repair but decided it was a bit silly. HAH how wrong was i.

I suppose the moral of this story is that there is no such thing as a DUMB question

At least i know my clutch plate is in goon condition

Hang loose and enjoy the ride.
