My advice after you get it fixed is buy a service manual, Jack and some tools. Dont let dealer touch your bike. Do your own service work and you know its done right. Cancel your extended warranty because Harleys are solid bikes and you dont need one. If you run into a major repair out of warranty ask your buddies for a good bike mechanic. There are hundreds of experts who repair bikes out of a small business or garage shop who take alot more pride in there work. I took my mercedes to the dealer last week for mandatory warranty service work and the morons overfilled the engine with 2 quarts of oil. I figured that out when I got home. Mercedes mechanics are supposed to be the best in the industry. Wrong. Point is Harleys are simple to fix and your oil leak should have been fixed on the first try. Dealers service these days is like fast food. IN and Out. Good luck

 

Congrats and welcome home !!!

 

Wow! I just got mine coming back from Afghanistan and i've barely put 200 miles on it with no leaking. Have you tried rubbing his nose in it it. Sometimes that helps.

 

Welcome home!

Just a thought, a lot of new harleys have the steering head overfilled and the fluid drips out, and sometimes down the engine/frame to the ground. It is a grease and almost invisible on the bike.

Looks like an oil leak, but it is not from the engine.

Best news, just wipe it off periodically until the excess is gone in a few weeks.

Might be your problem, might not, but look at the neck a few minutes after after your next ride.

I remember when I was a kid back in the 70's and would go to the Harley dealership with my Dad. All the bikes in the showroom had cardboard under them. I thought it was so the kickstands didn't scratch the floor. But then realized they were there to catch the oil.

But my 1980 shovel never leaked a drop. Weird.
