Hey everyone!
I'm having issues with my 97 electra glide and could use some help figuring out where to start. The problem is I recently had a full service on the bike. Two weeks after the service I noticed my oil pressure had begin to drop, then the oil light would flash on and off until finally it would just perminatiley stay on. I took it back to the shop that serviced it, and the guy said " I had a bad engine main seal". He then replaced the seal, as well as the derby cover gasket, drain plug o ring and primary cover gasket. He said the issue was fixed, but the next day I noticed my primary was now leaking more oil than before. I took it back and the guy had no idea what was wrong. I cannot afford to keep it in the shop so I with a friend are going to do the work. But the main issue with the bike is, all the motor oil is leaking into the primary. when the shop opened up the derby cover, he said there was over 4 quarts of oil in the primary itself. and the dip stick is dry on the motor side. Where should I start? or what could be the issue. I have all the tools needed for the job. I just need to know where to start or what to look for. Thank you all for your time, I will post updates as I learn more and figure out whats going on
