Alright, I already scoured the vast Google library for a "stock" photo of this bolt to see if I'm going crazy or not, but couldn't find anything. I'm in the process of flushing out the coolant and for some reason I recall seeing a washer on the front cylinder drain bolt, but I don't see it now that I did the first flush. I put it back as is and noted a drop of coolant seeping out, even after wiping off.
I checked every other allen bolt on the bike and they all have washers, but the odd part is the ones I took out are all "fit" onto the bolt so they don't come off. I was planning on taking a washer off a non-critical location like the front pulley cover until I could size one out at HD.
Can anyone check their bike to see if their front cylinder drain bolt has a washer or had issues with slight seepage from there before?
Also, to help everyone who searched for a simple view of the bolt, here you go. Note, this is my bike with the (possibly) missing washer). Easy to get to from either side, but this is from the right side.
