Hmm; yeah that doesn't look good. It almost looks like a casting defect.

It very well could be a bad casting which caused the leak in the first place, He need a second opinion and a Honda Rep to get involved. Should be a warranty issue for sure.... Hopefully that is what it is.....
His current dealer should be kicked to the curb; there are MUCH better Honda dealers out there who are actually interested in EARNING your business.
Besides, putting in a call to Honda to ask about this doesn't cost a dime to the dealer... and neither will the repair if Honda approves the work. The beauty of owning a Honda is that we don't have to put up with lousy dealers.
When I got my Valkyrie, it oozed thick yellow stuff for some time. It was apparently sprayed with it for protection?
That "oil" drip looks pretty thick. Maybe it is the same thing and will quit?

Looking at the pictures the casting looks bad.
The casting looks like it should have not been assembled to build an engine.
The GL1800 forum can be rude to members. I left them long ago and never returned.
Certainly need to get a rep from Honda involved.

+1... especially about the GL1800 forum; the new management really put the "nanny" in the term nanny-state.Originally Posted by Trike lady
