I have a '76 and a '09.
If the 09 has oil under it, there's a problem.......
If the '76 DOESN"T have oil under it, there's a problem.........

Good one, when mine sits awhile alot of the oil drains to the crank case, start it up I put a pan under the breather to catch it all, half quart, then back into the reservoir. Love it !

Well...... to that I can say my 01 Road King and my 03 Soft tail don't leak a drop, we were talking about classics. Your V whatever won't hold it's value I'm willing to bet.
