Hello All,
I have a really low mileage (3900) 1998 Dyna Glide.  After an oil change and a two hour ride, I'm getting a pretty good seepage around the rocker box cover.  My oil level is good (unless the stick is wrong). This seems like something that should have happened gradually, not a quick onset. 

My first though was it was oil from the air filter, second thought was a breathing/venting problem.  It's not from the air filter.

Any ideas what else to look for?  Thanks for any info.

How much oil was drained and how much was then added? Although being overfilled shouldn't cause a sudden leak at the rocker cover gasket. How long was it sitting before you changed the oil? And did you just buy it?

As always, pictures tell a lot sometimes.

Leaking rocker box gasket on a 27 year old engine.

Replace the rocker box gaskets and breather butterfly valves.

OEM gaskets are the best ones out there.
