New member from CLE!
Howdy!! New member here from Ohio. Also a newer rider. Bought my custom 2000 fat boy last spring. Had a great summer and fall riding putting 6500 miles on her with no issues. Last week took it in for a new rear tire, rear wheel bearing, rear brakes, front shock bushings replaced.
2 days later, went out the garage and notice oil leaking on left side bottom base of jugs. Called my mechanic immediately he said not to worry. He said wait for it to warm up and they should reseal themselves, hopefully. I live in northeast Ohio on Lake Erie and my bike was parked all winter in a non heated garage. Has anyone had this happen or have any feedback and info would be appreciated. Thanks and looking forward to finding all the info I need on here.

Unfortunately, yes I'm sure. I cleaned all the oil off, put the bike on the jack so it was level, started the bike and let it run for 5 minutes and watched oil seep. Since I'm most likely going to have gaskets replace, might as well do a cam chest, oil pump upgrade, rest of the gaskets replaced. Anything else? Any suggestions for performance? I know the carbureted 88's are limited.
