Default leak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have some gray stuff oozing up between the engine and transmission cases. I was told at the dealership that this was loctite. What is it really?

Who's your dealer? Sounds like something mine would say. I haven't ever seen or heard of that though.

Seen that on a couple Road Kings. They said it was a sealant or loctite, too. Wiped it off a couple times and it stopped oozing.

Never heard of loctite between the cases, silicone maybe but it would harden. If it not hitting the ground , no worry.

Not "Loctite", but an elastomeric sealant, like 3 Bond.
