There is no easy way to manipulate a camera to get a top angle shot of this predicament.  I took a decent picture from the bottom post wipe.  It's gray wet.  Not dripping on the floor, but is SLOWLY running down the oil pan.  Jackshaft leak?

Might be time to work on the household accountant to hurry along with the Baker 6 speed account.

Attempt from the top................with flashlight.

Can't really tell from the photo's, but if you have what about a gazillion of us have had, it's either a shift shaft or mainshaft seal leak (or both).  I had both of mine "fixed" right before my warranty expired, and the leak came back in a few thousand miles.  If you have it fixed, get them to use something other than the junk seals H-D uses.  Others here highly recommend the Cometic seals, and that's what I intend to use when I fix mine again.

Dang.....now you tell me.  I just had my leak fixed with the HD seals.  Oh well.......the 1st ones lasted me over 50K miles, so........guess I can't complain.  Went ahead and put the chrome inner primary cover on.......looks goooood!   *(trying to keep up around here, ya know.)  har!  spyder

Yeah I know the photos suck, but they are what they are.  The area is wet.  Have seen leaks in this area before, but the oil always blew to the rear.  This is just seeping straight down.
Definitely not a show stopper, and doesn't bother me save for the grime, so I'll just ride it until it starts making an unmanageable mess.  I've been looking for a reason to get some drivetrain work done anyway.  Thanks.

Sorry for your trouble brother but good to see ya here.

You NEED that chrome inner anyways, Henry.  Every Harley needs a chrome inner...don't look right without it.

Is this something we all should be expecting?

Yea,, i see it.. and confirmend, its broken, you need the Baker 6 speed...

I would say that about 70 - 80% of these leak from the shift shaft seal. Get the Cometic Double lip seal and don't look back.......

Man... Victory's are looking better every day!

How difficult are they to replace... is it as easy as ripping one out and replacing another, or will you have to pull the primary case or something else off?

Scott noticed mine leaking in Colorado Springs and turned me on to Mile High H. D. in Denver. They had it replaced and we were on the road in a couple of hours. Service Mgr. said they don't suddenly go catastrophic and it would of been ok to ride. Second FLH w/ this leak. Extended warranty so $50.00. Next time, if out of warranty, I'll go w/ Cometic.
