With just over 800 miles my push rod tube (rear cylinder, outer most tube) developed a leak, very small but enough to see and make a small mess.
When i dropped it off at the dealer today, one of the techs mentioned this is the 3rd 2016 street glide that has came in with a leak in the tubes on the rear cylinder.

Have any of you had a similar issue?

Also just wanted to bring this to attention of other so they can watch out for it as well.
 
Thanks for posting haven't heard anything yet but we shall see or hear soon.

Had my '15 SGS in for front and rear intake pushrod tube leaks @ 3500 miles.
Told my wife I needed a new bike, so traded for FLHXSE. 8) Hopefully it won't leak or she'll be peeved!

Mine did it for the first 100 miles, then I discovered that the factory over serviced the engine oil. Once I drained some of the oil out and brought the level to the correct spot it stopped leaking.
 
5000 miles on my 16 SG and the inside tube of the rear cylinder is doing the same. Ever so slightly but the leak is there. Taking it in this Friday @ 0900. Really hoping they have to change the oil as part of the repair...not wanting to drop the cash for the 5000 service...lol
