Brings to mind what I did to a fella I work with, a tried and true Harley nut .
Used to park in the same place every day so I made him a Harley survival kit and fastened it to the fence next to where he parked.
It was a small Baggie of oil absorbent, a quart of oil and an oil absorbent pad, I put a sign above it , "Harley Survival Kit".....he flipped LOL

Friends sometimes ask me if I want a Harley... I tell them I'd love one, but can't. Because I have carpet on the floor of my garage.

Beast1700, Probably an anomaly occurrence. Something along the MIKE-O-NAD scenario of a situation. *IF* it were to happen again, then dig in deeper. The oil filter and dipstick are far enough apart, that unless you saw the oil path on the bottom of the case, that would be unlikely<?>.
The next time you change the oil, triple wipe down every thing. Washers, bolts, surfaces, etc. Make sure they are clean and dry...

Sorry babbling things you already know. Ride the thing, keep an eye on it, but just ride the thing and enjoy!

Ride safe,
Smokier

thanks guys for all the words! Haven't been able to ride since Hurricane Barry just came through, but have started the beast and let it run several times, and NO oil leak at all.
bizarre! I will keep an eye on it for sure! Can't wait for good weather!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks!

Go get ya an old BSA or Royal Enfield and park it next to the Voyager. You will never again be bothered by a drop or 2 under the Voyager.

Best advice I've ever seen given on this site.
