Default trans leaking from primary side question.

*I have bought a 1985 flhtc and love it. This is my first Harley and have spent the last 1st month riding and diagnosing a primary/tranny leak. We have changed all the primary gaskets (I have a nonmechanic for a friend that is helping me/tools). I am still leaking about a quarter size spot a night. I am thinking about using some die to drop a few drops in the tranny and see if that is where the leak is coming from. Thoughts?

*I am going to collect the parts to do the job. From where is the problem? I have spoken to some techs and they say the is a bushing, spacer or something that can get pushed and it will leak. They say that if the shaft is able to move I have a bigger problem than gaskets or bushings. Any knowledge out there on this issue? any othe post will do. Thanks
