Oil leak through clutch cover

Hello to all

My 1977 Strada has a really small oil leak from the clutch cover. It’s just a little weep which I can wipe off after each run but I guess it’s not normal? If not, is there a straightforward fix I wonder?
Thanks
Martin

It can leak from either seal or between the shaft and the clutch gear sleeve
As it's a dry clutch take the cover off and you might see where it's weeping; from the centre/behind the basket
If the clutch isn't slipping and it's only a weep you could just relax for now then fix it over the winter
It's straightforward to sort (see youtube)
Plus it's a good idea to use the centre stand when you can

Good luck
