Happy New Year Everone!!!!!!!       My Primary Cover is leaking oil around the rear of the gasket after the harley shop checked on compensator,   Is these going to be a easy fix or is it another thing that happens when you take the cover off you get a oil leak from here on out or will the shop be able to fix this with a new gasket ??

There is no reason for any sort of oil leak if the work was done correctly.  Take it back and have them fix it.  Modern day Harley's do not leak if they are put together correctly and the parts aren't damaged.  I've had my primary cover off several times, and I've even reused the gasket on one occassion, and I have nary a sign of seepage much less a real leak.  If the bike wasn't leaking before they worked on it, then the leak is obviously the result of the shop's work.

Should be an easy fix blooper.  Just make sure it's the gasket and not a seal.  If the seal is leaking, when the bike is on the sidestand it can look like the gasket because of how the fluid will wick down the back of the primary.  If the inner primary was removed, there is a chance that seal could have been damaged.

  Is this seal inside the primary, why wouldn"t the outside gasket keep this from leaking from this seal   The Harley shop just call me and said the seal was causing the leak and they replaced it and far all the trouble and  down time they were giving me a free 10,000 service and that was very nice of them to do this and not charge me..                    Can I get A picture from eny one on this seal to know what they are talking about. THANKS

Hello,
 You don't have a shovel, pan,knuckle or flat head motor.
So ( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO), as  Jerry said, it should never leak if work is done right!
Just sayin.

Take it back and make em do it right for a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a novel idea, huh!

Well  the harley shop found the seal inside the primary cover bad, replace it and everthing is run good at this point, just waiting on the next thing to go wrong.
