I'm glad you had the Cahona's to admit it was the filter. But yeah...the little stuff can bite ya.

Good luck ripping the motor apart for the next little rattle you hear! LOL!

oh yea its a 2009 street glide. with a 103 stage IV also no oil cooler. 1Maybe you guys can help me out. never dripped a drop. bike was in for its last warranty service let them change the oil. get it home i have a drip . It was there as soon as I stopped so i figure something was up in the frame and it was quirk. Three days later I have a puddle. I take it back he tells me crankcase oring. $29(warranty is up) Im pissed but i figure if its done then who cares. get home still leakeing. They made damn sure to spray it down with card cleaner so I couldnt see any reminants.

I dont know where to start now. Im putting it up on the lift and gonna clean it down again and drink beer till i see a leak.

No usual suspects, the drain is clean, the filter tight and clean seems like alot of oil is up between the subframe.
