This is what I used: I don't think you'll do any harm to your clutch filling it with ATF, temporarily or indefinitely.

Okay, problem finally solved. I feel like a complete ****head, but for the benefit of all, I'll embarrass myself and finish the saga. Oil leaks- I chased one for weeks many years ago and it turned out to be an overoiled air filter dripping into the air box, running to one side, dripping on to the top of the tranny case, flowing down underneath and crossing to the other side before dripping under the bike. I would have bet money it was something behind the sprocket cover. This time I was swearing that the leak wasn't above the digi gear mechanism because the oil is virtually invisible as it creeps across the metal. It was following the fractures that I originally suspected and pooling somewhat, making it look as if the fractures themselves were oozing. So 10 days or more wasting time, I filled it with highly visible red ATF ready to sit it out and wait for the first drip. Didn't take long. Here's the culprit. O ring had obviously popped out of the groove just as the output shaft covering plate was pushed home. It is squashed flat where it has popped out. Wayne

Sweet, glad you got it solved Wayne. I've had a leak there too, forgot all about it. I had a warped retaining plate. I used a little non-hardening sealer on the o-ring when I reassembled. It's amazing how well the ATF works to detect leaks.
