I am somewhat new to this site and I am not real technical so apologies upfront.
I have 56k on my 2002 EV and this morning I noticed a big spot of oil underneath it. This is a first. I think it is oil and it might be a bit watery. My friend thought so too. It is coming from somewhere under the centerstand. I think it may have come from one of two rubber hoses extending downward. My friend thought that perhaps the rubber hose might have had a plug in it and it fell out. Maybe this is some blow-by hose. As we look closer we saw there was this spring just sitting there near the throw out bearing. When pulled the clutch in and saw that it didn't seem to have any purpose. We think it may have been inside a hole that it now is crossing perpendicular wise. It may have add some outward pressure on the the throw out bearing arm. Here are links that are picture of the area.

If you move your mouse over the picture I have put in some descriptions.
Is there a plug missing? Should I replace it before riding it again?
Should I push that spring back in the hole? Can I do it just messing with it or do I have to disconnect the clutch cable first? Well, how would I do it?
Thanks for any help,
John
