That is the trans case vent.
To answer the question, the oil you have in the intake is minimal. Like the others stated, just ride it. No biggie.

I have a 17 FLHTCU. It has 21k Miles on it. I have put stage 1, then stage IV on it. Had to replace engine at 12K miles due to oil pump failure. Had to fight Harley to replace just the bottom half, and I paid for the Stage IV because I didnt trust anything that had oil failure to last. Dealer replaced oil pump first, then after it failed I got them (it took over a month) to replace bottom half. Now I was going to pay for the new Stage IV, but when they opened it up, you guessed it, Cam housing full of metal shavings. It seems the oil pump they put in as a fix was still defective. So now I need whole new motor. It's cheaper for me to replace motor with 131 crate than to repair what I already had. So yeah, I am going to consult a lawyer. South Carolina has Lemon Laws that work for the consumer, and this definitely falls under that statute.

does the wetness start at the gasket above it? or just let dealership deal with it under warranty if that clock is still ticking
