Hi all, I hate to hi jack this thread, but its somehow related.
Would silicon or something help to stop the leak in this case? I seems to be coming from the tube right side of the filter.

Quite a lot of oil leaking after overnight parking. I hope to get some advice, thank you so much

 

From what can see by the picture is that the oil is coming from the stator plug. My bike had the same problem and you can stop the by clearing the area with carb and choke cleaner. You must clean everything around and under the plug so that the silicone will stick to plug and the case. Let it sit overnight and you should have no oil leak. I let mine sit for two days. I hope this will fix your problem. If it leaks then you didn't clean it good enough. I used black silicone from orileys to match the black wires and engine case. Good luck

 

Thanks. Will apply some silicon around that area.
Just asking also, I did an oil change prior to this phenomenon,
I heard the oil filter change is the main culprit of which the oil flows out and into the regulator area.

Question: Does this regulator area store a decent amount of oil which flows out during the filter change? Strange thing is its been 2 days and I've been seeing the same amount of oil on the floor after cleaning up.
(I didn't go for a ride in fear of more oil spurting out)

I'm thinking of removing it and check.

 

Are you seeing oil coming out under the oil filter? If so then I would to tighten it and if you aren't able to tighten it then loosen it then re tighten. If you had a shop to change your oil then take it back and have them to fix it.

 

No oil coming out from under the oil filter.
Yeah, I'm planning to do so tomorrow, as in taking the baby down to the shop. Ain't got time these few days due to work.
But to avoid unnecessary worrying, I'm thinking of leaving it for a day and check again to see if the spillage is the same as the previous 2 days.

I read on some forums that the residual oil from a oil filter change could take a while to stop. If this is true than I wouldn't be worrying so much, but I wonder "a while" is how long and how much oil *Laughs*

 

There are several forums about the stator plug too. I didn't think it was the stator plug either, but with further investigation that it was the stator plug. It was a bad design on Harley Davidson engine. Mostly the evo engine. Be sure to clean all around the plug and under it too so the rt silicone will stick.

 

Take the bike to a car wash and thoroughly clean the whole area around the filter, regulator, under carriage, stator plug, etc. By the time you get the bike home, all should be dry and clean. Let her sit and see where the oil is coming from, then address stopping the leak.

As was already suggested, I would also give the filter a twist to make sure it is tight to the filter mount.

 

Hi, as you have suggested. There isn't a leak no more after 3 days.
I'm surprised to see so much residual oil after an oil change.
I think I may just do it myself in future with some suggested methods of oil leak preventive measured.
Thanks guys

 

Or, as I have done, remotely mount the oil filter.
