Mysterious oil leak under the starter.

Mysterious oil leak under the starter.
If anyone can help. 2009 street glide. When I ride the bike it leaks oil and seems to leak even more if I really accelerate harder. Steady leaking wherever I park it. It’s wet underneath the starter and the oil collects at the bottom of the bike and leaks. I removed the starter and the starter is dry. And the drive belt is visible and dry, so I don’t think it’s the starter. There isn’t anything under the starter I can see that would be causing such a bad leak. Any ideas?
And thanks.

Stator plug is also a common leak that will run all the way back the bottom, both motor and frame would have primary oil on it.
Another common one is the shift shaft seal
Clean it all up and then run the bike 5-10 mins and start looking underneath to see where it is coming from. Some have used baby powder on the engine to find the leaks but I haven't ever had to do that.

Pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain....
You need to clean up the bike and try to determine where the oil is coming from, you can do this just as easily an an Independent or a Dealer.
How do you know it leaks more when you accelerate??????
How long has the bike been doing this?
What is the oil level reading on the dipstick?
