Oil on the garage floor

[Phu Cat]

So I jacked the Triglide up and found the center rear and left rear oil pan bolts loose enough it took about a full turn with an allen wrench to tighten them sufficiently. Bike is a 2012 with 35,000 miles. Will yours do this? Maybe, maybe not. But when you have a day when there's nothin else to do, jack 'er up and see if the oil pan's nice and dry like it should be or if it's getting oily.

^...Good catch P/C.:clapping:

If you regularly parked it on a dirt floor, you might not have noticed it until it was too late...?

Had a leak once that I couldn't find. Checked and checked all the pan bolts. Checked everything that could leak.

Changed oil one time and set the aftermarket Derby cover on the floor and it didn't look right. Come to find out, it was warped causing it to leak. Keep an eye on these if you have an aftermarket one. Mine was a Live to Ride with an Gold Eagle.

I had one just like it. Did the same thing.
