Front Brake Leaking
I have a 2011 Road King FLHR (bought new)
What is the fix for the front brake master cylinder leaking around the rubber gasket just under the cover?
I've loosened it and re tightened it, still leaking. I know not to over tighten because that will cause it to leak as well. Thanks.

My '03 was leaking from the sight glass in the lid, I replaced it and all is well. If your sure it's leaking from the lid gasket and you've tried cleaning and it's not overfull then I'd replace the gasket.

H-D does not sell the gasket separately for some reason. Have to buy the cover, which comes with gasket and sight glass.

It started leaking on my 2013 Limited as well. Before I could take it to dealer the leak stopped. I have no idea why it started to leak and I have no idea how it repaired itself. No leaking for a few months now.
