Default new bike oil leak

I've got a new 13 fls slim. Just installed a new exhaust system. I was wiping everything down and noticed both oil lines that go in crankcase were dripping. Bike only has one mile on it. Noticed plastic seals. Should I try to tighten them or just wait and see if it stops leaking. I was getting ready to install an air cleaner and power vision but should I wait in case it needs warranty work? I bought a new Harley so it wouldn't leak...lol

I would recommend to take it back to the dealer and let them fix it. They should have no problem in taking care of it for you.

Will installing pipes, air cleaner and flashing fuel injection void warranty? I've already installed pipes and was getting ready to install other parts this week. Should I wait?
