A friend of mine has an '85 FXE and he made a big deal of getting the right gasket for his starter solenoid one time.
Apparently they make different ones.
Are you sure you have the right one?

its a factory harley one, looked like the same one that was in my bike. im confused as to how so much is coming from there in the first place. i had a tiny leak from there till i got a new spyke solenoid then it got retarded. but the seal was all wadded up.

Are you saying your troubles started with the spyke solenoid?
If so check for your problem there.
