Massive Oil Leak Post 15k Service
Long story long - '16 Dyna FLD riding home on my way from the dealer 15k service. Heard an odd noise (I wear a full face and ear plugs so I really couldn't tell what it was) so I pull the bike over. Massive oil leak. They picked the bike up and are probably going to look it over in the morning. I suspect at some point that they are going to try and blame my Jagg oil cooler in some way. I do have the extended warranty.
My question - What questions do I need to ask? Is there any for sure what to tell that my tapers are okay other than taking the bike apart? Would I hear an apparent noise? Inner engine workings are very much over my head. I appreciate any advice.

THIS!!! Also, physically look at the source of the oil leak so the dealer can't blow smoke up your ***.
Take pics of it as well, post em' up here so we can all armchair QB this debacle.

The AN line at the oil filter got unscrewed. It has been on there for 5k, plus I've changed the oil with it on there once without issue. I leave it to the pros and this happens. They came and towed me back to the dealer. The giving me an oil change (well replacement I guess) and detailing it for me.

Are you guys serious? What kind of oil do you put in your truck? The slippery kind. Nice first post.

Report it. The little yellow triangle sign at the top right of each post is the report button. Mods will swoop in and lay smack down, fire and brimstone and all that.
