Curing The Oil Leak

I've been trying to find the source of a really annoying oil leak that looks like it's coming from the T where the oil drain hose meets up with the feed line from the oil tank and the line to the pump. Turns out that the cheap one time use hose clamps that Harley used in the assembly of the bike have a service life. They'd come loose and were the source of the leak. Since I was already doing an oil change I cut all three of them off and replaced them with normal hose clamps. Amazingly enough it looks like the leak's gone.
