It may well be the head gasket as they tend to leak oil into the bolt holes and run down.

I wouldn't do anything about it just yet. Your dealer won't tell you anything, because he probably doesn't know anything, but help is coming. Mine's been leaking since last summer and I just did 2,100 miles this weekend and it just keeps leaking. It won't hurt anything to leave it alone until the REAL fix is here.

Sit tight and everything will beOK soon.

Howie I think it is time you sit back and watch. It is done and on the way. Parts need to be manufactured and sent to the dealers before they are release it to the public. Once that is done all 110 owners will get a letter. Yep including you. But you can then do what you do best, CALL THEM AND GO OFF ON THEM!!!!!! LMAO!!!!

Really the fix will be here very soon!

How long does it take to manufacture a bunch of set screws?  I'm bettin' they stole my idea for 3 set screws per barrel to lock the liner in place.   ;D

Jerry I am not sure what the fix is. I think newly engineered cylinders. We will know in about 3 weeks though. At least they are doing something. I just hope it works as I have an 08 Dyna waiting at the dealer. Till a fix comes along I am not buying anything.

Chief,
 Do you think I will get a letter? My 110 is a dealer installed engine kit. If not should I just wait till someone posts the letter and show it to the SM at my dealer ship?

That is a very good question. I would think you are not getting a letter since this only pertains to the CVO 110 motor!

Dawg,
For what it's worth.  I appreciate the info that you put out, and axiously await the arrival of "the fix".  Unfortunately, the other thread got locked, so I couldn't post there.  But I do appreciate the info, and definitely appreciate not wanting to "sell the farm" on the whole deal, so as 1) not to cause that individual(s) their job, and 2) losing a good inside source of information to pass on what you can to us.  I've only had one, which in my opinion was one too many, head gasket leak so far, but I will be happy if the new fix is in fact the new permanent fix.   thanks again,

   :devil:

I won't get a letter then but since my leaky cylinders are the same PN# as the CVO leaky cylinders they still have to replace them with the new fix.
