Question
Hi working on or trying not tooo 1985 flhtp
Oil is leaking out the top of the right rear motor mount hole,which im guessing is a close wear
point to the oil breather/pump. Any way to fix this with out replacing the hole engine?/cases

Answer
I dont think your oil is leaking from the motor mount. the cases are pretty thick there. Its probably a cylinder base gasket.
Here is a easy way to find a leak. Clean the motor and let it dry. Spray some deoderant on it that has baby powder in it. Start the motor and where the powder turns black is where you have a leak.
Good luck and happy riding
