• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Clutch leak at lever? te 630

For sure it's from the boot/fitting area and not the weep hole in the cap?

What's your fluid level look like?
 
As RDTCU said- try to be very certain about the source.

Often it's the piston/seal weeping. It's not necessarily common, but by no means uncommon either:

I'm going through the same thing. I have the rebuild kit- just haven't tried it yet. I've read and read on this issue w/ the Magura masters- a lot of it on advrider.com- I'm personally convinced that more often than not it's an issue w/ the cylinder itself (the bore) so rebuilds are often a temporary fix.

The kit from Hall's and others will run you around 40 plus 15 for shipping. Easy job- just a little sloppy. Now SilverBullet did find the exact same kit on Amazon for 16 bucks- great deal.

EDIT: here's the thread on part #, and how to get one for 16 bucks.

Mine weeps a bit from the top if I don't bleed the master every now and then. As the clutch wears, the neutral position of the slave piston is deeper and deeper, forcing more fluid into the master. When it bottoms out the reservoir membrane, it can force some past the seal and out the weep hole. If it gets to this point, it can also cause your clutch to slip when you drop the clutch quickly.
 
Thanks. I ordered the one in the Amazon link. Ok I pulled the cap and it appears to be completely full almost to the point
of running over.

How should the reservoir membrane look, should it be flat or extended all the way down in the reservoir?

On the TE it's a sort of wedge shape. Look at it closely- you can tell by the way it's molded. I say look closely as mine- early on- had become mis-shapen, so I just popped it back into it's original shape. From there it's pretty easy to gauge how much fluid should be in the reservoir.

Nearly full is too much
Sounds like its coming out the weep hole.
Mine gets a bit messy after off roading
