Oil Leak..where is it coming from?

[roadhawg]

Just started today, I can watch it slowly drip....
Noticed leaking near sidestand on bottom of engine case
Is this from bad engine case gasket?
Worn sparkplug tubes?
Hopefully, this is an easy fix?
Any and all help greatly appreciated!

My guess is your clutch pushrod seal has come out and needs to be glued back in the engine case.

That is a pretty good guess Scott. I would concur, it happened to mine.

Mine too. These Nomads are notorious for oil leaks.

Yes, like I said, parked to close to Hardley!

But to be fair, I have been told that Hardleys dont "leak oil"
They are just marking thier territory!

What they said. Is it oil or hydraulic fluid? If its oil the clutch push rod seal popped out of place, hydraulic fluid would be the clutch master cylinder gasket. Probably the push rod gasket. It happened to my bike twice. Either way its an easy and inexpensive fix.

Really? I haven't seen that many posts on here about oil leaks.

Did see a guy on a ride last year with a brand new HD Street Glide that was leaking. Said it had been in to be fixed twice.

Is that a story about someone you knew, who had a brother-in-law; whose sister had a boyfriend whose father had a HD that leaked after being fixed twenty times?

Seriously... don't be bullshitted by the bullshit. My old HD has never leaked oil, and my new one doesn't either.

No offense... but the story-telling BS has got to stop...

My Nomad leaked oil in several places. No HD I have owned ever leaked... so say what you want...

I have said it before and I will say it again, You guys who ride OFF brands and are on a Kawasaki forum have to expect some ball bustin.
We know the newer HDs don't leak oil, coolant is another story
We know all you guys don't trailer your bikes all the time either but the ribbing will continue.

You call your comments "ball-busting"?

Look, I know you do not like me and we disagree on several things, but I do not need your "fatherly" advice. Keep it to yourself.

So you vulcan owners are on a vulcan forum in a thread about an oil leaking vulcan, and you have the temerity to point the finger at another brand? There are tons of these same threads on here. Pot, meet kettle. I wish they had an emoticon for "kiss my ass" on here.

Didn't know the guy but, We were all returning from the Red Lodge Rally last year. Got held up in a downpour in an underpass. Guy pulled up on his 2013 Street Glide. After sitting there for a few minutes I noticed an oil spot under the left side of his bike, below the kickstand. I told the guy he was leaking oil and to say the least ,he was pissed. Said that the bike was in the shop twice for the same leak... True story, NO BULLSHIT !!!!!
