Default 09 Street Glide Starter Leaking Primary Oil

Yes that's right folks. Played for a month trying to locate leaking oil from somewhere around the primary. Changed the outer primary cover gasket, pulled the inner primary and replaced the seals and still leaking. Finally pulled the starter and replaced the "O" ring to the inner primary. Then I noticed the primary oil passed right through the started and was leaking out of the starter body. This all started in Aug 14 when I had the starter clutch replaced. Eventually installed a complete new starter and the problem was solved. Very frustrating experience.

My mechanic said don't try to fix them once they leak from the starter body. Find the nearest garbage can and pitch it in there as fast as you can. They are throw a ways!
Anyone else encountered this type of problem?
