Hi All,
Looking for some advice on what issue I may be having with the front jug leaking oil in my 09 FLHX with the 96ci. Its been like this for a few thousand miles and I haven’t cleaned it off yet to see exactly where it’s seeping from.
Because? I didn’t know if this is common in these engines, what to look for, etc. You know, some people might have been through this same type of leak and know exactly what part needs fixed.
Looks like a normal bike that hasn't been kept clean. Mine can look pretty grimy if she don't get her bubble bath from time to time. You know by looking at it it's just a top end gasket seeping. Could probably go years with no harm.

Because...
You haven`t made the slightest effort to find out where the leak is, hell you didn`t even clean off the mess on the engine, yet you run to a forum expecting people to make an effort for you.
