Need some help figuring this out. I was riding the other day and once I parked, I noticed oil splattered all over my oil tank cover (pictured, but wiped off). I couldn't see where it was coming from, and the oil level is fine, not overfilled, about halfway up the stick. I noticed some leaking from the engine, and wondered if that was where it was coming from. I did some research and found that there are tons of cases of leaking from the rocker box gasket. But I'm not sure that's the problem because the leaks on the engine look like they're not where the gasket is. I'm not an expert by any means, just a rider. Any help would be awesome!! P.S. I don't know why the pictures are upside down. I posted them and previewed them and they were correct. Sorry.

 

looks like rocker cover gaskets (common and easy fix) on front and back cylinders .... or really bad up front and blowing backwards. wash the bike up and take it for a ride. go from there.

 

hmmm that also means now you are illegally draining contaminated fluid into the roads and it is not legal in many i meam in most states.
Sorry oartner but just sell your bike because it is not normal..dont try to make manufacturers problem as your problem.

 

One of my 883s had a factory recall to fix the same leak.

 

Sarcasm as a first post! Well played.
