    How in the hell???

    Ok, I use to have a leak on left side facing engine on flywheel housing. It was do to a poor gasket. I RTV'ed new gasket and no leak. I moved chassis and tarped it so I can paint my body. It is parked on a decline nose down and I just get home from work and oil is on the housing face. The oil should be up front. How does this happen????

          make sure before you put the body on

        That is for sure, Mitch....what a pain that would be. Painting tomorrow and will post pics. No laughing! Had a Mexican guy wanting to buy my Briggs...It clearly states it is only a body. Pictures show it is only a body. He comes by (very broken English) and asked where the rest is?? I shook my head and had to let my iPhone translate to him. What a waste of time.

          Hmm, interesting. Whenever someone would buy a new Harley we would go out and dribble some oil on the ground under it.

          I just got off work and some more oil on housing. I did per James and tightened pan bolts. they actually had some play in them. Wiped it down and will check again. The car is nose forward facing down a slope....how does oil that is below "F" mark on dipstick get back there....
