I have an issue! Oil leak!
I have a 2012 Fatboy Lo Its leaking at the bottom of the front Jug, see picture. When I turn off the bike I can actually see little oil bubbles coming out as it cools off! Any thoughts on why this might have happened? Bike only has 4200 miles! Not real happy!

A little more info would be helpful.
Warranty? If yes; no brainer-take it to a dealer.
If no:
Runs ok?
Suddenly started doing this?
Overheating?
Recent engine work?
Etc...?
Could just be a gasket.

Yeah its under warranty, I was venting... Mainly because I cant stand my Harley dealer here. They are a real pain because I didn't buy my Harley there! Runs fine, Just started doing it. I keep a close eye on the bike. The bike has not over heated, and has not had any engine work other than intake, and exhaust. Pretty sure its just a gasket but I hate, I mean hate to give it to the dealer here, terrible experience with them!

Don't have a solution but looks like the same problem like this 2012 Deluxe: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...k-in-shop.html

take to the dealership and have them fix it under warranty. i know what you mean about hating the fact that you have to deal with them but at least look at it this way. you won't be paying them a dime cause it'll be covered under warranty.
I'm pretty sure they hate servicing bikes under warranty cause i don't think they get any money from Harley for their time lolol.
just take it to them and have them warranty it.

Many posts on this: it is a coating from the factory that runs off the casting from assy plant. Normal issue, no repair needed. Will go away.
