Was under the dash putting the speedo back in and noticed a slight bit of wetness around the rubber dust boot on the 
clutch M/C.  Pulled the boot off, and there was just a teensy smear of fluid on the cyl, and a bit of dark gray greasy 
crud where the pushrod goes through the retaining washer.  Fluid use/loss is negligible, about what you'd expect from 
brake surface wear.  The outside of the M/C is dry and clutch works fine.  I use silicone brake/clutch fluid, FWIW.  The 
M/C is one of the iron Lucas types Moss was selling a few years ago, and probably 6-8 yrs-- +/- 30K miles--old.

My question to the List is: am I in danger of imminent/eventual failure of the M/C, or is this no big deal and to be 
expected, or something in between?
