Default Fatboy puking oil

Ok guys, its late, I'm home, and my gas tank, arm and pants are covered with oil. 2000 FatBoy, 44,000 miles, oil level was fine, never had an issue before. It looks like it's coming from the front cylinder bypass. I know the wonderful board members can guide me on what to look for and stop this. She is looking pretty sad right now.

Right now it sounds like you have oil everywhere. When riding in the wind, a teaspoon of oil will get all over everything. My best advice is to wash it with plenty of dishsoap and clean it up good, then run it to see for sure where the oil is coming from.
