Author Message   Bensbike Posted on Thursday, June 16, 2011 - 11:02 pm:        Mine is pretty minor, is this engine oil leak?   Froggy Posted on Thursday, June 16, 2011 - 11:08 pm:        You must be new around these parts Pretty common issue, isn't hard to fix. Get part number X2086.1AM from your dealer, it is a new clutch piston and seals. You can swap it out yourself without much fuss if you are mechanically inclined. It is brake fluid that is leaking, not engine oil, so clean it up ASAP to prevent it from ruining the finish on the motor.   Highrock1125r Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 08:18 pm:        Call H-D customer service, They will fix it for free.   Jrfitzny Posted on Sunday, June 19, 2011 - 06:38 pm:        Stupid question I know, but could someone explain (in layman terms) what the problem is? I fixed my clutch weep, but I didn't know what parts I was changing out... how embarrassing...   Fio835 Posted on Sunday, June 19, 2011 - 10:42 pm:        How important is this to fix in terms of can I let it go a little while, or should I rush in to the dealer?   Zac4mac Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 12:53 am:        Some guys had "gushers" that had to be fixed fast. I have a VERY early 08 and she dribbled for two years before I got it fixed. Only topped the fluid 2 or 3 times, so I had a very slow leak. Had the X2086.1AM kit installed Feb 2010, still dry. Zack   Whippetlovr Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 08:00 am:        Can I ask a question about the weep? Seems my bike has it too now. I have a little tiny hole in the cover thats leaking. Will the X2086.1AM kit replace the holey cover as well? And what the heck caused the little hole in the first place? I did a search and it looks like a lot of people's leaks started with a tiny hole like mine.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 08:38 am:        The tiny little hole is a breather hole. It was "caused" in the manufacturing process, not by accident   Whippetlovr Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 08:53 am:        Aaah. So its not the hole that's the issue, its leaking from inside, from the seals or something and coming out the hole. Right?   Jdugger Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 09:02 am:        If you didn't have that tiny little hole, the clutch puck would pop off if you were strong enough to actuate the clutch. Have your buddy work the clutch lever a few times while you have your ear close to it in a quiet garage...   Boogiman1981 Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 09:38 am:        don't forget the other vent hole on the rear facing edge of the cover(not the cap) that serves the same purpose.   Zac4mac Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 12:19 pm:        RevA covers had a weep hole in the cover below the small plastic puck. RevB has the hole in the larger, aluminum billet puck. The notch on the side is for tool-access to pop the cap. X2086.1AM replaces the outer piston/cyl/lining in the clutch cover and fixes the leak. Z   Sl33py Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 12:39 pm:        I had a minor leak - during my 6k service they did the repair (09 w/ revB cover). Only a few hundred miles now but so far so good.   Whippetlovr Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 01:55 pm:        Odd. I have the Rev B on my 09 and the hole is below the puck.   Zac4mac Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 03:22 pm:        http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/discus.cgi?pg=prev&topic=290431&page=502287 excerpted -   Whippetlovr Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 03:39 pm:        Yep, mines definitely B, with the hole below the puck.   Sl33py Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 06:12 pm:        Whippet - you have a hole in the casing below (grey) the puck (black)? Don't think that's possible... the puck is the whole dealio now vs just sitting on top of the case like revA. you can see the hole in the second pic above - just below the decal. a bit more close up - can't see the hole since it's at the bottom: GL!   Boogiman1981 Posted on Tuesday, June 21, 2011 - 04:33 pm:        how about a pic Whippet
