Default oil leak

a friend asked me to put his 89 sportster back together for him after about 3 years of sitting.needless to say it was a mess.after detailing it,its actualy a very nice bike.there is no more room for crome.its got 3 inch ext. forks,fat bob tank,lepera Seat sns carb n a andrews 4 cam.he had a new oil pump in and it was leakin under the oil tank,had it pressure tested n that was fine so i figured it was a line but they seem fine.he just now gave me a baffler that came out so im wondering what the hell is going on.
