Default 2005 Road King Classic primary leak.....

OK, showed some pictures a little while back, figured I had a leak from the shifter shaft seal. I pulled everything apart, replaced the shifter shaft seal when I noticed leaking from another area. The bike has been apart for about a week while I was waiting for my shifter shaft seal, and when I went to work on it tonight, I noticed a couple of drops of fluid on the floor under the drive sprocket. I also noticed some fluid built up in the lip on the sprocket itself. Looking closer, I see a build up of fluid dripping from the sprocket itself and a drip ready to drop fro mthe bolt right below the sprocket. Please see pics. Looking at the service manual, I really dont know what seal this would be. Any ideas? Point me in the right direction. Thanks.

You're gonna need a sprocket lock and either fashion the pulley nut tool or buy it to get the nut off. Probably the quad seal

The quad seal requires the complete removal of the pulley? This is when I need the crazy priced tool from Harley correct? Could be both main seal and quad seal right, since I am seeing build up on the pulley itself, as well as behind the pulley on the backside of the teeth of it the pulley and the bolt hole.

My bet is on the seal, I hope the bearing is ok. When mine went last week, it took the bearing with it.

How would I know if the bearing went? The shaft spins free and smooth.
