Yo,
I recently spotted a small leak under my bike. I recently changed my engine, transmission and oil filter oil about a month ago with no issues. Im just trying to figure out what and how to fix it with out taking it into Harley Davidson. Here are a few pics. I originally thought it was come from the bolt I circled in red but after my ocd kicked in Im almost sure it coming from the center where Im assuming the gasket is. Im not a gear head but Im into learning. Thank you in advance.

If it's not from the oil change, it's likely from the alternator wire exit in the primary case. You can also look at the crank sensor but they typically don't leak from there..
earlier this year, I got the kit, cause they were running a sale for fathers day, and it was cheaper to get kit the parts guy said. If that tells you anything. I often reuse the orings too, but always have extras on hand. But the kit is gouging I am pretty sure, cause guys can't remember 1 filter, 1 oring, and 4 quarts.
Wonder if the tranny vent is plugged.. Some insects like to crawl in the hose and make a nest.. Plugged tranny vent will allow pressure to build in the primary..

Looks like residue from the oil filter being taken off ...the oil that falls down the front motor mount ..and is hard to clean out ...most will drip for a while till dirt build up enough to stop it !!
Spray Simple Green all around and let soak just a few minutes ...rinse and recheck ...
Good Luck ..!! Yo !!!
