Hey folks,

I have a 2012 fxdc that I bought in February with around 2800 miles on it. The shop showed us that the oil and filter had been changed when it was brought in. I have put about 2500 miles on the bike since then, so I haven't done an oil change yet. The bike sat for a few weeks and I rode for around an hour a couple of weeks ago. The day after that I noticed a small leak, and since then it has accumulated about two dime sized leaks. I can see that it is coming from what I believe is the drain plug.

Should I pull the bolt and check for cracks or a bad O ring? Also curious if I should avoid riding until I can take a look at this.

Thanks for any input!

 

It won`t hurt anything to let it drip until the next oil change is due.

Use a new o ring on the drain plug, and torque to 14-21 Ft. Lb.
