Default Leaking fluid 2006 fatboy
The other day I had my fatboy out for a test ride and for a few seconds, it made a loud clicking noise from then engine. The next morning I noticed some fluid leaking from the bike. It is coming from the middle of the bike. I checked both the transmission and oil levels and I don't think they have changed. Before I could get it jacked up and wiped down which was a few days later, it had stopped. I am not sure what it is, but it seems like a thick fluid. I am wondering if anyone would know what it would be.
