Default Oil leak

Checked oil on 08 soft tail no oil on dipstick no visible oil leak on the bike or under the bike. Was going to change the oil and only about a quart or so drained from the oil pan. Oil was checked last time the bike was ridin about two weeks back and it was registering a little low

Change your oil and filter, then keep a close eye on your levels. We have had several threads like this in recent weeks! Read your owners manual and check at the recommended intervals. There may be nothing wrong, just leaving things too long before checks.
