Hey everyone,
This is my first post and I just wanted to get some advice on a problem I had with my bike.
When I bought the bike it had some oil residue on in that flatish area between the heads and the oil tank. I asked the seller about it and he said it was just dirty and his guy didnt clean it well enough. I figure no biggie I will clean it anyway reguardless if they had..
So I take it home, clean it, ride it..and I notice fresh oil puddled in that small area at the rear of the engine I THINK between the engine/tranny. It was right near that little rectangle hole. I could not figure out or see where the oil was coming from so I take it to HD(its still under warrenty till June). They have it for like 3 days and no matter what they do can not make it leak oil again. They did however put what looks like some type of silicone into the little rectagle hole to 'plug it'. They suggest taking it home, riding it, and see'in if it happens again... I'm in the process of doing that and have ridden about 300-400 miles... no more oil yet...
Sorry I do not have a photo, I didnt take one when I had the leak. My bike is a stock 2007 FXST Softail Standard with just over 2,000 miles.
Any thoughts or suggestions on what I should do??
Thanks,
