The bottom's plastic, probably cracked the nipple where it connects to the rubber hose when you dropped it.
That's right, I said nipple and rubber hose in the same sentence.

😂 ok. I’m hoping to get home early enough today to take it apart and take a look. Hoping it’s just the o-ring and not the nipple. I do not want to take it to Harley, they are extremely expensive. I appreciate the help.

If it's the quick disconnect, replace it yourself.

Yea, I definitely will. I have the hose disconnected now, the o-ring and nipple look perfectly fine. I am having trouble getting to the o-rings inside the check valve. And of course, they angled the valve inwards towards the engine. I’ve watched a video on YouTube and it looked like there are special tools that you can use to take them out. So it may have to wait till payday

You forgot to mention in the part when you dropped your bike, picked it up, and dusted yourself off,....forgot to mention you also waited till the red in your face went away before looking up at people staring.

Been there done that. Welcome to the HD forum.

Yea, hahah I was more pissed than embarrassed at the time. I was in between a rock and a hard place. If I swerved left, I would have hit a bunch of pylons and on my right was a bunch of gravel. The light was green and there was no one in front of the guy in front of me. Little ol’ beginner me had a knee jerk reaction to grab the break and down I went, jumping up screaming and cussing hahah. I got the o-ring for the check valve and no more leak. The old one was ripped in half. Thanks again for the advice. I appreciate it.
