Default oil temp gauge

I have a Roadglide and have been using that oil level and temp gauge on
the bike for the past 10,000 mi this morning I noticed what looks like oil
wicking up into the display area.
I think it wont be to long before it will completely fill the display rendering the
unit useless.
Any one else having this problem.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks

Take it apart, drain the oil out of it, fix the seal.

mine has oil in it also.&nbsp\\; I took it apart, tried to reseal it and it
filled up again. Still works, but I wouldn't buy another one.
