Oil is seeping from the seal that is between the clutch cable and the primary case. I have the parts manual and cannot find the seal listed. Can someone please post the part no.?

It doesn't have a p/n as it's part of the cable.
It's just a small rubber(I think) o-ring.
Either try to sweet talk a parts guy to find one laying on the floor or hit a Hardware store for a generic.

Do NOT overtighten.
Screw the cable into the primary while it's stretched out straight. Hand tight is fine, no more than 5-10 in-oz torque or it'll break.
Route up to the lever after it's in the primary.

I also like to put a little thread sealant on it.

O-Ring 11179 (but I just grabbed a generic one from my O-ring kit).
It wasn't included with the replacement cable I got for my '06 Uly and isn't identified in the '06 Uly parts list as a separate part but is shown in the '09 parts lists.

Zac has given very good advice about not over-tightening and how to fit.

Search the archives and there are many tales of woe - many of them from people who were being careful.

i used some teflon tape and screwed it back on, it gives a good seal.
