Very simple.

You just need to get a new clutch cover gasket and new seal.

That is not a big deal to fix. Just gat a manual and you should not have any probs. Looks like a killer deal to me.

I would do it!! looks like a good deal...the 250r is a kicking machine!! I just stuck close to 700 dollars into mine, did the work myself..it took a while but man...they are fun machines! :Bounce

a clutch release arm seal leak aint nothin it doesent realy even leak.you check your oil every tank and change it every good ride.maby just a little dampness there but its a easy fix any way.i would look for more emediate trouble.like brakes ,bearings,rear shock acting like a pogo stick,and just plane ugly cracked riped and faded.the motor should realy blow your thumb off of the spark plug hole to.and feel good and strong when you kick it.be weary of some one who would get rid of a 250R for a thumper. :D

Yes, and im a little curious as to why its even mentioned. The purpose of this seal is not to keep oil in, but to keep things like water OUT. If oil is actually coming out of that seal Id be very surprised. Id look very closely to determine where the oil leak is REALLY coming from if there is one.
