[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 3777862, member: 9018"] On Harleys that are old enough they actually leak on purpose. I may be totally wrong in your case but on those Harleys old enough the oil leakage was actually for lubricating the drive chain. It was intentional weepage. There’s a way to adjust it and it was called an automatic chain oiler. Yours being a shovel head should have it. Maybe it’s not your transmission leaking at all. The EPA being what they are got involved and that chain self lubricating went away, but there was at one time a real purpose for them marking their territory. [/QUOTE]
