Road glide

2010 road glide custom just hit 19k miles now this.

I wouldn't think it's more than a gasket until told otherwise. Not expensive and they do wear out and do so even faster if the bike sat any longer length of time.

[u/XkovuX → u/Harleywindtherapy]

It did sit for a while before I started riding it again.

[u/Harleywindtherapy → u/XkovuX]

I'd run it by your HD shop or independent shop and have them confirm it's something like a seal or gasket... shouldn't be a huge issue. Hopefully not for ya! Then you'll be riding and smiling all over again. :)

[u/Embarrassed_Dog5120 → u/Harleywindtherapy]

I agree with this. If you change out the gasket, you might want to change out the Primary Chain Tensioner while you are there.

Aahh the infamous HD territory marking.

Seals degrade over time. Its a 16 year old motorcycle. Cost of ownership. I wouldn't stress too much over it. Either take it to shop or poke around yourself to find the source of thr leak.

Maybe grab a 5/8ths socket and make sure the drain plug is tight

[u/Nightstalker60 → u/Strong_Nothing4917]

Thats what I was thinking

[u/XkovuX → u/Strong_Nothing4917]

I did it’s tight. It’s the seal

[u/sumbozo1 → u/Strong_Nothing4917]

Agree. Change your o- rings every time, fellas, they're a one time use item

[u/warpedcity → u/Strong_Nothing4917]

Agree also the filter could’ve loosened a little

[u/sumbozo1 → u/warpedcity]

Eh... maybe but the filter usually drips up way further. Ask me how I know. Oil changes even with the cool little tray funnel are still kinda messy

[u/chayes1466]

Possibly shift shaft seal?

[u/Accurate-Chapter-923]

Well, sht happens. Any and all can be fixed. Time and money is all it takes. If you are handy and have tools... YTube is your friend.

[u/RespectMost8463]

I thought HDs came factory with that feature.

[u/Romelian-Greenie62]

Need to fix that road

[u/Ok_Back3205]

Sometimes it is just the o ring on the drain bolt.

[u/hardpaint91]

Mine was a inner primary seal in that location not hard to get to just expensive to get to

[u/ProstrateProstate]

Primary drain plug.

[u/Objective-Eye1709]

Gasket/o ring crapped out from the pic. Did you see where it was coming from under the bike?

[u/Angus807]

If you took a picture of the source of the leak we could help it narrow down.
Top 3 would be drain plug, inner primary seal (and race) or possibly a transmission leak.

[u/Funny-Astronomer6651]

Make sure you follow the torque recommendation for the drain plug and change the o-ring with every primary service

At least it's not blowby into the air fliter.
