Hopefully an easy question....
Just picked up a new (to me) '95 Wideglide and the only flaw I can find on it is a small leak coming from the front of the engine. Traced it down to a small rubber plug just inside/next to the oil filter on the actual case on the left side of the bike with 2 wires coming out of it. These two wires lead straight to the horn.
I'm guessing it's either an oil level switch or a neutral sensor switch, but wanted to make sure before I dove into it. Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the forum from the Netherlands and congrats on the bike.
I do not understand what you mean and I'm not that familiar with older dyna models; if you go here:
http://www.bikebandit.com/harley-davidson-motorcycle-parts/oem-parts
you'll find parts diagrams for your year and model.
As soon as you have posted 5 or more postings, you will be able to post an image to show us what you mean.

Here's an image of the stator wires on my 2003FXD:
This grommet could be deteriorated or hardened and started leaking oil from your primary case. What I see in my Clymer book and the parts catalog, the rubber grommet is vulcanized to the wires that come from the stator. This could mean you will have to replace the stator assembly (p/n 29951-99 for 2003 models).
Perhaps anyone else could chime in and advise?
Edit: yes I know the bike has to be washed...been riding in the rain this afternoon

looks to be closer to the crankshaft position sensor, The plug is actually touching the oil filter on the back side. This is causing oil to leak over both of the bolts below it.

Now run the bike for a few miles to heat up and see if you can determine where the oil comes from.
The sensor has an o-ring which could leak as wel. The p/n for this o-ring is 11289A.
I will add a diagram in a few minutes...
