Yes, you're probably correct in your assumption. I don't have a lot of experience with the Twin Cam engines however. I specialize in the earlier Evo, Shovelhead, Panhead, and Ironhead Sportys. I'd clean the area and check the oil level again. With the engine cold, the oil level should be between the lines. The upper line is "FULL HOT" and the lower mark is "FULL COLD". Do not overfill. As long as the oil level is between the lines cold, do not add oil. Ride until the engine gets to full operating temp and then check the oil level.

I don't know if the Twin Cam engines will "oil sump" like the Evo and earlier engines would but I'm certain the Electra Glide won't due to the fact that the oil tank is on the bottom of the transmission. This means the oil tank is below the engine so it won't do this. As long as the engine sounds OK and the oil is pumping back into the oil tank, I'd go ahead and ride it again and then check it.

Good Luck
