WTF Oil leak?????
 
2007 Ultra Classic 15k, never leaked a drop, just jacked it up last weekend to remove the wheels so I could change the tires, planned on re-installing them this weekend, I noticed last night as I walked by it, a puddle under the front, looks like it's coming from a switch/electrical connector just inside from the shifter a couple inches? Basically running down and dripping off lower case. Anyone else had this problem with the bike sitting level instead of on kickstand? That's basically the only thing that has changed is the angle of the bike. What is that switch for, tranny fluid too high? Thanks in advance for any help.

You change the oil recently?

Only oil I changed was engine back in August or September, I've put over 500 miles on it since then. It sits in the same spot in the garage all the time, on a tiled floor so I know if anything leaks in there.

is it the sensor that is right by the oil filter? That's a crank position sensor I believe. May have gotten bumped when the filter was pulled?

No, it's lower than that. Plus nothing was bumped or hit when removing the oil filter.

How big of a puddle are you talking about? I know sometimes oil will collect low down on the frame but with you saying there has been 500 miles since oil change, I'm not thinking that is the cause. Can you post a pic of where to the oil is coming from?

How well does the jack move around on those knobbed floor tiles with the bike up on it?

I've a shed that the previous owner leveled using a dead opossum or such. I've been thinking of sorta leveling it with some tiles like you have there.

Stator wire coming out of the case. It's a common leaking point...
