Possible oil leak
« on: August 08, 2019, 02:21:12 PM »
While drying the bike today after its twice a year wash I noticed the weep/smudge in the picture. Wanted to get some thoughts and opinions on it from those with more experience than myself ( because I really don't know much  :D) Its my 14 CVO  Breakout if about 7k miles on it.

That's "weeping". Not a full blown leak as in oil running down the side, but it might become one. Keep an eye on it.

Agreed.  Will only get worse. If you have an extended warranty (or not) would check it out as to repair.

I will wipe off what is there now and keep an eye on it. I generally don't go for rides longer than a couple hours at most so it should be fairly easy to judge it's progress.
