I have a 75 FXE and im having a frustrating problem with oil leaking out of the bottom of the head cover on the front cylinder. It looks like it coming out between the pushrods. From previous advice I took the whole crank case apart and checked for broken gasket peices in an oil line somewhere. Didnt do anything at all. Any suggestions?

 

If it is leaking from the pushrod tubes it is just a gasket. They are probably cork gaskets which can be upgraded to a better type or you could change the pushrod tubes to a later design that used O Rings. Either way it is not a difficult fix.

 

Well the oil isnt coming out of the push rod tubes themselves. Its coming out between the pushrods on the head cover.
