2011 Ultra Limited Leaking
Howdy,
Just purchased a 2011 Ultra limited and I love it. I took it in for its 1K servicing with everything running smoothly. I picked the bike up and rode it from Houston to El Paso. While enroute I noticed a clear fluid on the cam cover plate. Took it into the dealership and they told me it was a bad engine oil cooler gasket. They fixed it and I knocked out a 300 mile trip around NM. I again noticed the leak in the same area. I attached photos of the leaking, and I believe it is coming from the rear brake master cylinder. I just wanted to get some opinions on what it might be before I take it back to the dealer for trouble shooting/fixing.
Thanks,

I am going to tighten up the the front nuts on the oil filter, then take it for a ride this evening when it gets cooler. If i see the mystery fluid on the cam cover again I will do the paint test to see if its brake fluid. If it is still leaking i'm taking it to the dealer in the morning and getting them to figure it out. Either way I will let ya'll know what the source is. Thanks again for the help.

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.
