i seem to have cluch fluid leaking from the cluch housing, has any one else had this problem, was told there is a rubber gromit that breaks down in side the housing , or has any one got ant ideas

What bike ?

If it,s a hydraulic clutch and it,s leaking around the clutch housing it,s probably the slave seals shot.

sorry its a xjr and yes its around the cluch housing

Yes it's deffo the clutch slave seals, very easy to replace. Once you have removed the clutch slave housing pump out the slave and remove seals, give it a good clean up with a scotchbrite pad and fit new seals. The hardest part is bleeding the system once replaced.

There are pics on how to do it on this site.

Try to find or make a pressure bleed kit. This will help you bleed all hydraulics easily.
