Clutch cable housing is dripping oil - 2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI Electra Glide Ultra Classic

How long has the clutch been in the vehicle the do wear out and that can cause these kinds of problems

There isn't an o-ring on the cable, but there should be on the sending unit that the cable is screwed onto. You might check on that.

Clutch or automatic? The rear engine crank seal is most likely leaking. Oil on the clutch will ruin it completely, even the metal parts, so replace the whole thing. If it's an automatic, the oil is dripping on the flywheel which gets hot normally. No damage . Use a solvent to clean the oil from inside the bell housing after you replace the seal.

If it is leaking at the clutch release housing which is the only place I would expect an oil leak like that to be then likely the o-ring is not sealing where the cable enters the release housing.

Sounds like you have a bad clutch plate and probably a weak pressure plate. Do you notice oil dripping from thr bell housing?

You adjust the clutch behind the clutch inspection (derby) cover on the left side. The cable enters the clutch release housing on the right side. Describe the problem better.

presumably its a manual box. Could be oil on the clutch plate. check if there is oil around the bottom of the housing or maybe dripping. if this is the case then you need a new clutch and a crankshaft oil seal. Help you more if I had more details.

REMOVAL:

1. Lift clutch pedal to uppermost position to disengage clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft.
2. Push clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft forward and unhook clutch release lever cable from clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft and allow it to slowly swing rearward.
3. Raise and support vehicle.
4. Remove clutch release lever dust shield.
5. Disconnect clutch release lever cable from clutch release shaft.
6. Remove retaining clip, then clutch release lever cable from flywheel housing.
7. Remove starter motor from flywheel housing, then engine rear plate to front lower flywheel housing bolts.
8. Remove transmission.
9. Remove flywheel housing back just far enough to clear clutch pressure plate, then remove housing.
10. Remove clutch release shaft from flywheel housing by pulling it through window in flywheel housing until retainer spring disengages from pivot.
11. Remove clutch release hub and bearing from clutch release shaft.
12. Loosen six clutch pressure plate bolts evenly to release spring tension gradually and avoid distorting clutch pressure plate. If same clutch pressure plate is to be installed, mark plate and flywheel so pressure plate can be installed in its original position.
13. Remove clutch pressure plate and clutch disc from flywheel.

INSTALLATION:

1. Position clutch disc and pressure plate assembly on flywheel, noting following:
   1. Three flywheel housing to block dowels on flywheel must be properly aligned with clutch pressure plate.
   2. Bent, damaged or missing flywheel housing to block dowels must be replaced.
   3. tart clutch pressure plate bolts but do not tighten.
   4. Avoid touching clutch disc face, dropping parts or contaminating parts with oil or grease.
   5. Align clutch disc using suitable alignment tool inserted in pilot bearing.
   6. To avoid clutch pressure plate distortion, alternately tighten bolts a few turns at a time, until they are all tight, then tighten to specifications.
   
   
2. Install transmission to flywheel housing.
3. Install engine rear plate to flywheel front lower housing bolts, then connect clutch release cable to flywheel housing and connect retaining clip.
4. Connect clutch release lever cable to clutch release shaft, then install clutch release lever dust shield.
5. Install starter motor.
6. Lower vehicle, then install clutch release lever cable as follows:
   1. Lift clutch pedal to disengage clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft.
   2. Push clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft forward and hook end of clutch release lever cable over rear of clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft.
   
   
7. Cycle clutch pedal several times to adjust clutch release lever cable

First, unless you have just done some clutch work you should not need to be bleeding the clutch hydraulic system...that shows that it's leaking. There is nothing inside the bellhousing that has anything to do with clutch fluid, so, the fluid you see is either engine or transmission oil (rear main seal or seal on trans input shaft) Could it be that the clutch slave is leaking and it's running down and dripping at the bottom of the housing? (clean it up and check that)
