it could be coming from the vent on the tranny but a friend of mine has an 07 deuce that developed a leak there due to poor machining on the cases. lucky for him it was still under warranty and fixed at no charge. good luck

I had that at 3500 miles brought it to the dealer and they decided it was the silicone gasket that must have had a air pocket that finally popped. So I gave it to them and they split the cases resealed it and gave me new rings. No oil there anymore.

I had a leak on the cases on an 07 Fatboy... back to the dealer it went. I was told that they had a bunch of them that year, pulled engine split and resealed cases under warranty.
