New (for me) 2008 Night Rod with about 16k. Did some shorter rides then decided to do some basics - oil change, new plugs, PCV and dyno. (Glad I did since the rear plug indicated it had been running pretty learn.) Didn't notice any oil leak before the changes but do now. It's not bad, just messy. Checked the torque on the cover fastners that I could reach and they appear to be within spec. No obvious gasket split but it appears "wet" from about the front left corner to rear right and that spread could be due just to air flow over the cylinder at speed.

Your rear breather hose is disconnected/loose. Cam covers rarely leak.

:bash:Good catch. Replaced original clamp with an aircraft style clamp when the plugs were replaced. Just tightened it up quite a bit more. Will clean things up and check after the next ride. Surprised that so much oil is available to come through the hose.
