Nothing to be alarmed about. chit happens, it's 1 of many that don't leak.

And only one that we know of that leaks.  Hearkens back to the old days where "they all do that"...maybe that should be the new motto...

It's just Harley being nostalgic.

Just had one in our dealership with a porous cylinder at the drain passage.  It had to get really hot to start leaking.  Chit does happen.

[DRAGO B W]

Porus castings
Bad heat induction  on rods
And leaking around crank sensor
I what else ?

Unfortunately chit happens a lot at H-D.  Process controls have never been a strong suit with this bunch, and all the flowery prose in all the press releases won't fix that.

Not acceptable, Frank
Get that slug back to the dealer & a Mo Co employee to make a visit & demand a 120 as an R&R

Rumor has it that the oring at the crank sensor is slightly undersized and or not of the correct material. HD is aware of the issue.

[DRAGO B W]

Not oring it the fitting coming out of crank case into oil cooler

 Faster, easier and way less aggravation!

100% right on the head.

I wondered how long it would be...is this the start of the M8 problems?   

[hawgzilla]

Tech that changed the porous cylinder asked HD about torque plates to measure the new cylinder.  HD says no torque plates available and no plans for any.  Also, no oversize pistons will be available from HD.

Ah, the old special "Torque Plates".

It's funny as they needed them for the 117" motors that came out last January.

Fast forward to the M8 motor, not needed!!!

It's not leaking oil,......think of it as "sweating power"!!!.....

My 17 RG developed a "weep" at the oil line manifold that bolts to the front head.
Took it to my dealer next morning. The dealer tech diagnosed the issue and reported to the MOCO.
The MOCO overnighted a new head, manifold, and orings.
The dealer took care of the issue in A TOTAL OF 3 days from the time I drove in until I drove out.
The MOCO required the dealer to overnight the suspect parts right back to them for evaluation.
It is for this reason I don't suggest repairs by owners. The MOCO needs to know WHY the issue occurred, not that it occurred. Otherwise there is no way to nip the issue in the bud.
Just my opinion,
Bob
BTW - My dealer, Mcguire's HD in Pacheco, CA acted with absolutely top notch service.

Harley's don't leak oil, they are just marking their territory...

That was supposed to have gone the way of AMF......

[Para Bellum]

So the oil cooler isn't fed from an oil filter adapter like the TC are?

[FLTRCVO]

A friend if mine took his 2017 Road King for the 1000 mile service and the dealer, Las Vegas Harley Davidson discovered the motor had an oil leak. The dealership removed the motor and sent it back to Harley Davidson 11/12/16 and is awaiting a new motor with the same VIN to be shipped overnight.
