Your harley has a dry sump lubrication system. These systems allow the engine to be lower in the frame, lowering your center of gravity. But, it does mean that there are hoses that carry oil to a resevore. Harleys have been known to leak since time imortal. Just tighten it and continue to do so. It is a normal part of Harley ownership. You may also develop other leaks. Such as bad gaskets. If you get a gasket on the side that leaks, you can remove the cover and position the gasket so that the break is up. Instead of replacing the gasket. Or you could just pay less money for a larger Japanees bike and not have all these problems.

If it is a banjo bolt with a copper washer then no, it is very easy to overtighten them and snap it off, better to replace the copper washer (which are crush washers and always need replacing), and tighten to the specified torque and no more.
