Hey Guys,

My Softail Slim seems to be weeping oil very inconsistently from this bolt on the primary side. Its right behind my shift linkage rod. It's not losing enough oil to even register on the dip stick, but it is still weeping, and still getting me to scratch my head as to why? The bolt does not have a rubber O-ring on it, so any ideas on what I can do to fix it, or should I just let it be.

 

Well there's not a nut on the other side . So have you try to tighten it .

 

Yes first thing I tried was tightening it.

 

You could try loosening the bolt enough to smear some sealant on the under side of the head, then tightening it back up.,,,

 

My thoughts...bike should still be under warranty, right? If so - take it in and have the dealer fix it.

 

pull it and clean the threads and apply alittle sillycone to it. reinstall and torque.
