Default Tranny Oil Leak??

I took my FXCW in for its 1600km check up.

Now, there is oil leaking from the clutch cable adjuster. And I mean LEAK! If I spend much time riding, I have it on my leg, all up the primary cover, all over the regulator, and pretty much on anything on the left side of the bike.

I took it back to the dealer, and they said they had lubed the cable so its just the access lube. But this has been going on for 1000 km now. Im going to check the tranny fluid tonight (Last night was too late and too hot for a check). And see if its low, or not.

I think this is rediculous. Especialy now that Iv moved 1000 km away from that dealer. What should I do about it?

I just called my new Local dealer (Davies HD in Richmond Hill) I told them the story, and they said the same thing. But when I told him that it has been coming out for around 1000km, he said it was probably over filled. So.. Tonight... Im gonna get a lift, and see if it is in deed, over full. Now , I gotta find a Princess Auto!
