I have just noticed a small but worrisome amount of oil leaking down from front right side of my bike. oil level is good and cannot find where it is coming from. it is also splashing on my crash guards. any indo will help.

 

spray the suspect area with drugstore foot powder.

it will wash away from the source of the leak/seep

I had an 07 Ultra leaking from the two Allen screws next to the oil filter. They are supposed to be tight. Clean area very good then ride for 2 or 3 miles if screws are wet just tighten them up. good luck

 

If it has been real hot where you live. I suggest that it could be the steering neck bearing grease melting somewhat. This is usually no cause for concern. Wipe off the bottom of the neck, and keep an eye on it, the oozing grease will manifest itself as a drop or two hanging off the lowest point of the neck area.

 

Need a little more info than just "the right side of the bike". Pics, mebbe.

 

The first place I would look is at the two Allen bolts that hold on the bottom of the tranny plate that says "six speed" and double as exhaust mount bolts.

Wipe down the right side, left the bike set for a day and see if you can see where the leak begins. Oil flows downhill so keep in mind you may have to backtrack a leak to the source. I agree with mikebaby, check the two bottom tranny cover bolts with the exhaust brackets. My 2009 SG was found leaking in the same location last winter. Found the inside gasket deteriorated on the bottom.

 

Ok so the leak is in the front of the bike on the right side. It started happening when I installed a fork baffle. The braided clutch line is covered but I still cannot find where it is coming from.

 

I also had a HD mechanic buddy of mine look and he could not find anything either. It seems to only happen for a couple minutes after I get off the bike and then does not drip anymore. It is only about 5-6 drips at a time.
