new to Harleys - just bought an 01 Ultra and it didn't seep when I bought it. Had 5k service and the dealer convinced me that I need full synth everywhere. When I got it home, noticed it was leaking from the bottom at about 1 drip per 10 minutes. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Dealer probably did a sloppy job changing oil. clean up the bike real good underneath and see if it still leaks
