Hey Fellas,
Looking for guidance on the oil leak before I take the F to the dealership. I'm sure this might not be isolated to the F as basically it is the same engine across all VROD models.
Being a good forum member I did search around but want to make sure I have a close answer as possible specially if this is a "usual" thing.
Bought the used F about a month ago from the stealership. It has a little over 11,000 miles. Been riding around no issues until a day ago, oil light came on and off while riding. Stopped on a side street and oil light went off until I put the Harley on the jiffy stand. Oil light then came back on and stayed on. Looked around for a possible leak and that's when I noticed it. Drops of Oil were starting to fall on left side exhaust.
I turned bike off and wiped oil off. Came back a few hours Later and there it was, oil starting to come out again. I searched for the usual suspects, breather hose, seals and hoses under air box etc. All look good with no cracked hoses or bad O-rings.
So, could this be coming in from the engine? Will this be an ongoing or expensive fix in your experience?
Please look at the attached picture for reference and let me know your thoughts on what it may be.
Thanks in advance!
