    There should not be any oil behind the plug.

    There is a gasket inbetween the outer and inner primary cases.

    When foward controls have been fitted and the old shift sharft is removed .there is nothing to stop the covers fretting and the gasket becomes lose and leaks.

    Have a look at the other end of the hole you will see oil there to.

    To repair-  Remove outer primary replace gasket. Remove chrome cap while primary is of. Refit primary cover

    Insert dummy shaft ie neat fit wooden dowell into old shift shaft hole to stop cases fretting.replace chrome cap

    My 07 streetbob leaked within 1000ks of fitting foward controls, did the job hasnt leaked since. Done 30000ks
