Sure looks like an oring, but weird how the base could be pinched like that. I don't think oil return oring could pull out that far.

Well FML. So I took off the front cylinder and the reason the o’ring is sticking out the side of the case is it looks like there were 2 put on the dowel ring. They were melted together and that rubber had to go somewhere. I put the S&S kit together from new and I know I didn’t put 2 o’rings on it. I took the bike in to have some head work done with a tune. I’m assuming they put an extra o’ring on it. Now I have a channel out of the recess on both sides. Now what do I do?

Side note, I wish I would leave my orings in. I took mine out out of fear I would forget to put new one in. You get quite the pile of crap from cometic, covering many years. I wish I would have kept the old one so could compare better. Maybe take old one in put in baggie and label it. Though what happens is you think you will remember, and you do. I just like to worry like an old lady.

Are those S&S dowels that have o-ring grooves or are they stock harley? Try the S&S ones if those are stock harley. Double check length of S&S dowel make sure it's not too long.
in any case, I'd put it back together surgically clean in that area with a bit of oil resistant silicone at that blow out spot.
