Default help.... major oil leak

I have an ' 83 FXSB and it has a factory belt drive in the primary. I took the primary cover off and it looks like the oil is leaking out behind the compensating sprocket. I am going to pull the inner primary and make sure that is where it is coming from, but I guess it is leaking out the end of the crankshaft, because it is motor oil coming out. My question is can you replace a seal or something on the end of the crank without splitting the cases? Any info on this will be helpful....... thanks

Yep, there's a seal back there that can easily be replaced. I've also seen them leak out the screw holes for the clamp for the alternator leads.

Mongo, J&P Cycles and V-Twin are two companies with lots of aftermarket parts for shovels and pans

Tedd's V-Twin has all kinds of parts but as I understand it they must be purchased through one of their dealers,,I don.t think they sell direct. Hawgley.
