In reply to Dave Roberts. I agree had the same issue and it was a simple o-ring replacement.

In reply to Michael T Conley. Are you referring to the large O ring at the back of the primary where it meets the transmission? I have determined that I also have a leak there. What kind of a job is it to replace that O ring, Cost estimate?

Mark,
Did you change o+ring on the drain plug when you changed your oil?

In the service manual indicates that it should be messured on the jiffy stand. cuote When checking the transmission lubricant level, the motorcycle
should be leaning on the jiffy stand. Allow a short period of
time to equalize lubricant level in the transmission compartments

Harley told me it was base cylinder gaskets outer primary and oil filter bracket. I chased it down to iner primay o ring. A 90 deger adaptor for presure washer let me clean area to chase leak.

You should read your owners manual on checking fluids. My 2019 Road King tranny oil is to be checked on level ground while leaning on the jiffy/side stand. Primary oil is checked on level surface with bike standing straight up. READ THE MANUAL!

I’ve seen some questions on here that are common sense to but that’s because I bonded with my Scooter since day one. It’s a good thing, good site.

I have a pristine 1992 FLSTF . . . Also have a tiny leak (nickle size) after riding that appears to be around the center of the large outer primary. Fluid level OK. Will changing the large primary gasket as well as the derby O-ring & inspection gasket take care of this ? Thanks !!!

In regards to the oil leak under the 08 Road King Police, what about the simplest fix of a seal around the drain plug? With careful scrutiny we should be able to observe not only where the drip is from but the source of the leak.
