The primary was leaking. I probably didn't do something right after the dd6 installation. Put a new gasket and fluid in there and new derby cover gasket. It was not an obvious leak as far as the exact origin but hoping this fixes it

It did stop leaking at one point but I thought that might be because it was out of oil. Glad I was wrong there

I assume you used Harley gaskets, Markus.
And I sure hope this circlip falling off thing isn't contagious!
