Re: Oil Leak

[KEGLER916@xxxxxxx]

I'm getting enough oil in the area you describe to collect a fair amount of 
dust and dirt. I hope this isn't typical and there will be a remedy. BTW I 
have less then 1200 miles.

<< Yesterday I noticed a streak of oil running from the clutch rod that enters
 the engine case on the right side (next to the oil fill hole).  The first
 time I noticed it I assumed that the dealer spilled some oil and didn't
 clean it up, but since I wiped it off and it came back I'm pretty sure there
 is a leak, and I know I didn't buy the "Harley Davidson Official
 Leak-A-Like" option.  From what I can tell, it's coming from around the
 clutch actuator that goes from the cable connecting arm vertically down into
 the case.  Has anyone else had a leak here?  When I bought the bike the
 dealer provided a printed work order showing that the engine case bolts had
 been replaced, so I'm wondering if in the process the seal at that point got
 installed backwards or perhaps damaged?  
 
 Any input appreciated.
