Engine Oil Leak
I have a 2011 Street Glide 103. I have been on three long trips this year since Memorial Day Weekend this year and everytime I stop along the way the right side of my exhaust pipes saddlebags and seat is covered in oil. It looks like it is coming from the bottom of the jugs or the push rods.
I have carried it to the local HD store and the first time they said a oil filter gasket failed but there was no oil on the oil filter. The second time they said the shop I just had it serviced at put too much oil in it and was blowing back through the breather. The third time we just came back from Daytona and I carried it right to the HD shop. They told me that they were having trouble with touring models having a nut that backs out when the oil filter is taken off to be serviced and if you didn't know it did it, it would leak oil. I told them it only happens at interstate speeds on rides longer that 2 1/2 hrs.
Have any of you heard of this?
My bike is still under warranty and my riding buddies carry there touring models to other shops other than HD and they have never experienced this.
