Rear Shock Leaking Oil; Dealer Says "No" - Pics
While cleaning the bike I noticed a puddle of oil under the left muffler. I thought "maybe there are muffler bearings" But of course since we know there isn't such a thing I continued to research the source of the oil and it lead me to the shock.
Okay, NP, the bike is under warrantee I'll take it in. Well get a call this afternoon and they say there's no issue with the shock and everything is okay. So after returning to the dealer I asked them to explain to me the pics below. They couldn't. Their position is that they serviced the shock and went through the appropriate troubleshooting steps and could find no issue. They could not wrnty the shock with HD.
They also said the shock and the bike were very clean. I had just detailed the bike for the first time, I must have cleaned the shock too.
Regardless, clean or not, it's clear to me the shock was/is leaking. They said to keep an eye out and return again with a dirty oil shock.
Anyone have input on a mysterious oil leaking rear shock?

I will. I've never used them before and I knew better then to take it to them, but they're just one exit away. Typically I travel about 45 minutes, but I just thought this would be such a simple obvious fix. How good it go wrong.....
