Default Oily Frame Question
Have an '07 Electra Glide with just under 17000 miles on it. Just noticed recently that the frame rail on the right side (directly beneath the motor) is oily. I can't find any leaks on or around the motor and there are no drips on the floor. Just put 2500 miles on it to Sturgis and Back and it runs great (first noticed the oil before the trip). Any ideas where it may be coming from?

Thanks in advance
