I pulled off the outer chaincase today as the chaincase sealing band was obviously worn out -- leaking oil was the obvious clue. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a better method of sealing the inner and outer (if one even exists).
Also, I'm posting a picture of the innards just because I'd be interested to know if anything seems awry here. This is my first time looking into this area so I don't know what would be considered normal. I was hoping to be surprised by a belt drive but no such luck(!).

Below is a picture of my outer chaincase.

As you can see there is quite a bit of wear where the left hand footrest is positioned next to it. It's not really noticeable when the footrest is bolted on, but I'm wondering if it is indicative of some larger problem, e.g., faulty positioning of the Z plate or the like. The wear really does seem more than a little excessive.
