Weep will be between the motor and tranny. No gasket. Two machined surfaces. My 08 started weeping at about 22,000 miles.. Google ( 2008 Harley touring oil weep between motor and trann)

There is a gasket between the motor and tranny. See # 25 on in the link below
I just pulled my motor to rebuild it today and had the gasket in my hand. Read the service manual and it will tell you to install the gasket prior to attaching the motor to the tranny
