Oil Leak..where is it coming from?
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.

Check and see..if the cam-plug is seeping on the passenger side of the rear cyl...it might be running down and across the case at the rear of the engine ! ?

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.

+1 on the clutch pushrod seal. My 1600 Meanstreak did the same thing.

Try to determine if its motor oil, brake fluid, or gear oil from the final drive, they can all drip in that area.

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.

You should post this on a Harley forum! You'd get lots of answers on oil leaks!!
