The inside of my variator / clutch housing is coated in grease and greasy belt chunks. Everything is slimy with this goo. It's like the belt turned too a greasy, soft substance and just disintegrated. What is the most likely cause? A leaky seal at one of the shafts? If so, which is most likely? Variator shaft, or clutch shaft? Should I clean it out with brake cleaner and put everything back together?
I am NOT going to open the crankcase on this thing. I'd never get it back together correctly. Would I be ok just cleaning everything up good, putting a new belt on, and checking it every few weeks?
