Well there I was, happy as a clam, getting gas in Gorman, CA (on top of the grapevine). I am in the shade drinking a gatorade, when I notice oil all over my right saddlebag, side cover, trans top cover, basically all over the top of the tranny and rear cylinder.
I thought at first it was an engine oil leak from the rear rocker cover. I wiped it all down, checked the engine oil, which was OK, and took off towards Clovis.
On the way back not a drop of oil leakage.
My estimate:
Hauling up the long grade at 80 -85 mph overheated the oil and it blew out of the tube on top of the transmission.
What is your thought?
Should I be concerned, I checked the oil and it looks clean and wasn't low.
Bike is 2007 FLHRC with 103 hot rod engine.
