Gents, my '04 XL1200C has an oil leak on the aft side of the engine. Although I do work on my bikes, I haven't messed with the engine yet so I don't know exactly how to describe the location, so I included a photo. Also, is there any easy fix for this or am I pretty much effed? Thanks!

 

Can't really see the link but it looks like a seeping head gasket. Try re-torqueing the head bolts; if that doesn't stop the leak you will likely need to replace the head gasket.

Before you re-torque head bolts, look real close and make sure the leak is not coming from the rocker box cover gasket.

 

I agree look real close at the back of the lower rocker box gasket and make sure it is not leaking there and running down.

 

As the others have said look very closely, to find where it comes from. Oil is darned sneaky stuff and can creep a long way from where it came out!
