KZ400 oil leak - clutch push rod oil seal

Hello guys!

My bike is leaking oil from the clutch push bar oil seal.
I am not sure if this is the original oil seal or if something that the previous owner put to solve the problem.
I am buying the original oil seal but before I take the bike to a mechanic I need to know if is necesary to open the engine or not to make the change.
If not, do you thing I can do it by myself?

Sorry for my english, I am from Argentina.

Best
Esteban

The cases will have to be split to replace the seal.
As far as I know that seal is no longer available from the dealer.
I have seen a valve stem seal used. The valve seal for this engine
[and most other Kawasakis of this era] is 7mm. The same size
as the clutch push rod. It is attached to the old seal to prevent
leakage around the push rod.

I look for the oil seal on ebay and there are plenty of choices to get one. It is like 100$

So. You are saying that I have to open the engine to replace it? :-\

$100 because there are no more.
Yes the cases have to be split.
