I went for a ride and noticed my sled leaking oil on the street. This at a steady 1 second drip intervals. Not good especially being 40 miles from home.
When I did the oil change I replaced the oil filter, oil, DCT filter but neglected to replace the DCT filter cover O-ring. This was a big mistake in my part.
I looked at the original O-ring and determined it was in good shape. I didn’t even remove it from the cover.
The problem wasn’t removing the cover it was reinstalling back in place.
When I reinstalled the cover with the new DCT filter the original ring must have gotten damaged during the insertion process.
I ordered the parts from WingStuff. That’s my go to online store. I would say anything you can possibly need for Goldwing maintenance will be available at their online store.
The O-ring I purchased has a different part number than that is listed on the Goldwing official service manual. In fact the part shipped from WingStuff is better than the original in my honest opinion.
The alternate O-ring part is slightly less in diameter size and seems to be thicker in material. These difference allows the part to seat around the DCT cover much better.
