I have an 05 ultra with 3,000 miles on it. I bought it with 1900 miles....

The day i bought it, after the ride home, I noticed oil had leaked out (top side)primary cover betweeen cover and engine case, and down the side of the cover.

Note - I am not talking about the inspection cover or derby cover.

I checked and adjusted all the bolts for proper torque. It still leaked. I ordered and replaced the gasket, tighen the bolts in the proper order....i was happy. That is, until i rode the bike....still leaks, same place.

We are not talking alot of oil here. Is it though enough oil after a days ride to see it has run down the side of the cover. Before I take it apart again and check for flatness....any one else ever heard of this problem. If so what did you find?

thanks for the help!

Put Hylomar sealant on the gasket.
I always use it

thanks Peter.....going to put it on the stand tomorrow!
