Default OIL LEAK

I'm looking at buying back my 03 Dyna eith about 7K miles on it. The present owner said it is leaking oil from the rocker box or the cover. Is this just a gasket problem?&nbsp\\;

It could be just about anything.&nbsp\\; I had a friend that had a rocker cover bolt actually fall out, and was causing the oil leak.&nbsp\\; You can at least start with checking to make sure the bolts are all properly torqued.

Sounds like this is a sight-unseen situation. Look at it first.
