     hey guys,

    noticed a bit of oil, i guess, between the rear cilinder and engine case, still under the 2 yr warranty, wtf, does it need an engine rebuild or what?

    i've only have 11k k's with it.

    will this be covered by the warranty?

    Take it back to the dealer, they will fix that under warranty.

    Friend of mine has a Dyna and his crankcase was leaking oil from the casting not any joint, problem was with the casting being porous and the oil just kept on weeping through the casting..

    They disassembled the complete engine to fix the issue, also had new crankcases installed repacing the original ones.

    I think Evinrude Outboard motors do the castings for Harley Davidson.
