My early 2011 is leaking a little but not to the point of dripping. Bike is out of warranty so Service Manager recommended I not fix it unless it gets worse. He said its an expensive repair and will not hurt anything unless it loses a lot of primary oil. I may try the silicone fix at some point.

You have extended warranty, $50.00, get it fixed right, don't know why it would take a week, my 09 Ultra had that leak at 35,000 miles, made appointment with dealer, made sure they had the part and was in and out in less than 3 hours, also good time to check compensator if you don't have the new SE version

I had to replace the stator on my EVO because it shorted out, and I had to put STP on the new plug to get it installed it was so tight. It has never leaked. It was a much tighter plug than the old one with more ribbing on it. If mine did leak I would use one of those sealers on it. You might do a search on it because there was someone that found a sealant that wicked in around the plug and sealed it up. You are not the first to have one leak.

hoethree, have not been into my primary except to adjust the clutch at derby cover, but my understanding is the stator plug is a part of the stator wire made into the stator. Stator has to be replaced to replace the plug. I think the primary case and compensator have to be removed to replace the stator but could be wrong since mine was not bad enough yet to dig into it. If I was under warranty I'd sure let service do it.
