Very small oil leak after new Pressure Plate, springs and caps install

After installing a new open clutch cover, springs and caps I have noticed a very small oil leak at the bottom of the clutch cover. My pushrod was stuck to the pressure plate bearing so I pulled it out with the along with the cover.

It would appear from some googling that maybe when I slid the rod and pressure plate back in from the right side that has caused this leak.

I have ordered the replacement O-rings and seal from Desmo times but don't know when it will be here.

To be on the safe side I went back in and removed the slave cylinder and pulled the rod out from the left side. It took some effort but I finally freed the rod and was able to pull it out. I cleaned and lubed the slave O ring and the two on the left side of the rod.

I guess possibly the other seal may be damaged on the pressure plate side.

I have going to barbers this weekend and just don have time to pull the clutch etc. again so am just hoping for the best.

When I get the O-rings and seal from Desmo times I hope I have time to install it before Austin MotoGP.

Will this small leak cause me problems at my track day?

All is well

took the pushrod out from the slave side and cleaned and lubed the rod. Gently put in back in and all is well. No more leaks. I did order the O-Ring kit from Desmo times and have that on hand. Taking her to Ducati Island next weekend then NOLA for another track day. I will replace them at the first opportunity. Thanks
