The venting bolts do not do the job on bigger motors especially on longer sustained speed rides. Installed “demysters” which solved the problem. We have several Air Intake install videos in the Style and Performance section to review. If it’s excessive and not performance related like this post indicates, it can be a leaking breather bolt. If it did not leak before, that tells us it’s something with the install or new product. Dennis Santopietro September 24th, 2014.I also cleaned the filter, and no change. Ever since than I have had dripping oil that as I go down the road gets all over the sattle bag, the oil is right at the correct level…very frustrating. At the same time I removed the backing plate and painted it to match the denum paint! Put everything back together, minus the ugly football cover.I replaced that with a medallion which I love. I have the same issue, a few months ago I changed the stock air cleaner to a K & N element. It’s likely you have too much oil in the crank, check your oil hot and have the level remain at the half way full mark or just slightly lower. If its a k /n air filter it may be over saturated or over charged with oil if it was cleaned Reply Have 94 fatboy with S&S reed valve and S&S catch can only way to go Reply I’ll clean both filters and see if that fixes the problem.

The breather bolts feed into a secondary filter to collect and filter the oil, but it has started dripping onto the bike recently. I have the same problem, and yes, my filter does need to be cleaned. Articles on Harley-Davidson How-to and Moreġ43 Responses to “Oil Dripping from Harley Air Cleaner”
