2011 Ultra Limited Leaking
#13
UPDATE:
Sorry for the delay. I took the bike back to the dealership to investigate the leak. They inspected the oil cooler and tightened the nuts on it and told me it was good to go (the first time they replaced the oil cooler gasket). I was unable to ride last week due to work. I rode it 27 miles today (to work and back) and once again noticed the fluid on the cam case. I went ahead and checked the two hex bolts on the front side of the oil FILTER and indeed they were loose. I tightened them tonight and will spray wash the area tomorrow morning then ride it hard after work to see if that solved the problem. I will let yall know. Thanks again for the help.

I just changed the oil and filter at 5k miles and developed a leak. It wouldn't leak for a trip or two and then it would leak a few drops, then stop for a trip or two and then leak again. Traced it down to the oil filter area. Took it off, cleaned it and cleaned the bottom of the bike and cranked it up and it is still leaking from the filter area. I took it off again and the top of the filter ring that seats to the engine is good but when rubbing my finger around the ring, it feels like there is a high spot on the filter itself under the rubber o-ring. I think I have a defective filter. And yes I did all the normal stuff, cleaning the part where the filter goes with brake parts cleaner, oiling the top o-ring on the filter, tightening hand tight then turning an extra half turn and later 3/4 turn and still later a full turn. It still leaks. Maybe those hex screws are my problem too. I will check it out tonight and THANKS for the info guys.
