I discovered really small drops of oil on top of the tranny cover. Upon further looking I found what appears to be the rear cylinder head gasket leaking... I attached a photo. It doesn't seem to be much but not sure what to do. Should I just keep an eye on it or is this a serious problem? Please reply if you know..

looks above the head gasket to the valve cover- so not a crucial area.

check that the breather is not obstructed ( so that pressure does not build up)

to get true source of seep, clean area with carb cleaner ( careful of painted areas). then spray with drugstore foot powder ( 99¢ store)...powder will wash away at source of seep, pinpointing it.

having older bikes, I have some with seeps for 20 years...no big deal - however the head gasket IS a big deal, but I don't think that's your problem.

Looks like a rocker box leak. Mine was seeping for several years, finally was in there for other reasons and replaced the gasket....

 

I agree on a rocker box gasket leak. The 2 Harley's I've owned before I bought my new one both developed a leak there. The first one (sportster) I replaced the gaskets myself (not that big of a job). The second one (fatboy) I just kept an eye on it for a few years. Never got worse. Ended up trading it in on my new one.

 

looks like rocker box gasket .Clean it with. engine or brakes cleaner . then ride for a bit and check . if its rocker box , you can either re torx it or replaced the gasket . .As i about to replace mine i kinda noticed ,one bolt on the back side is loose . I retorque it .no leak so far 20k + miles.

 

It can also be "melting" assembly coating. I would clean it well with a good detergent and dry it out, run it for awhile and recheck it.

 

Had the same leak on my 2002 Fatboy. Rocker Box Cover. Easy enough fix.

 

Thank you to everyone that posted. As with all of you this is my "baby".
Ride safe,
