Default 1992 FXR oil leak
1992 FXR leaking oil after setting for a week or so. It has done this since purchasing it almost 30 years ago. Is there a possible fix?

There's always a fix.
Some are easy and some are harder. Depends on what's leaking.

Yeah knowing where it's leaking might help.

I'm guessing it's a bottom breather and you can reset the check ball in the oil pump or you can replace the oil pump with an S&S.. they don't sump..

If you stop putting oil in it the leak will eventually go away.

I think it's out of warranty? When my buddy comes over, RIP treats him like a new puppy. Meets him in the driveway with cardboard and newspaper. That work.
