Default 2007 Street Glide oil leak. How much should I worry?

I’ve seen oil falling from top of rear cylinder to the header. I will take it to the stealer as soon as it stops raining here in northern Spain.

In the meantime, how much should I worry? Any experience on this problem?

Thanks.

If oil gets onto the rear exhause pipe, it's inside the crome outer cover, it can catch fire. Just a little leak would just flicker some maybe.
Looks like the rocker cover gasketis leaking. Myself I would take a, I believe, a 7/16 socket to the exposed bolts and see if anything tightens up. Just don't put a real big arm on that. About spark plut tight. 10-13 lb.ft. or Neuton something. Kinda goacross and aroundeasy.
If it's the rocker box itself, bolts are inside thatand HD needs to see it.
Good luck over there.

To me i would think that is remenants from the breather system coming out the air cleaner asy. I would check the air filter first and maybe change it. If its really soaked with oil, you may have some bigger problems on your hands..
