noticed my 11 flstc has developed a weep on the left side rear corner of oil tank.anybody ever had to have one replaced under warranty? like i said its not really a leak,more like a little weep.no drips found it while cleaning.

 

Wow, never seen that. Warranty issue?

 

Only place mine weeps from is the filler neck where the plug goes in. I'd be taking it to the dealer if it's still under warranty.

 

Just something you might want to check. I was getting a couple of drip-runs down my tank below filler plug & to the left. Turns out it was coming from the rear cylinder left rocker box bolt which was blowing back on the tank.
Tighened it up, no more oil on tank.

 

In all the yrs Ive been in here I don't remember any left side weeps..

several have had it at the filler cap.

Sometimes other members have found on some leaks that it's coming from someplace other than where it seems to be coming from..

Q-1 Have U oiled something else on the bike that might be somehow getting on Ur Oil Tank?

If not, I would just take her in an let the shop look at her.. Hard to beat the cost of Warranty work..



.

 

Are you sure it's oil and not water condensation from the changing temps in winter?

 

Its prolly your rubber hose to the plastic drain hose under the right rear corner of the tank.

 

ok seems oil tnk has a hole in the left corner of tank,new tank on order covered under warranty.props to the dealer very supporive

 

Wow...that is nutty

 

yeah sure is nutty seems it was a bad weld
