Be careful who you listen to on this forum, there is one who will answer you who just babbles gibberish and talks about himself.

It will be obvious who he is.
Ya know, I just recently came back here. I see some things never change!

Do you want to discuss anything on the topic? I have listen the name of the seal, and possible issues, and what I would do. Which oddly is what Dan would do. What about you, what do yiu have to add to the topic?

Make sure your head breathers are not blocked (prob fine) but if they were, engine oil would make it's way past the crank seal due to pressure and push oil into the primary - happened to me.

Something to check anyway...

Open up your air cleaner and locate the vent tubes and suck on them. You should be able to pull air. You should not be able to blow air into them.

Another way is to run the engine for a minute and then immediately pull the oil dip stick. If air comes whooshing out (like a balloon) the breathers are blocked.

If they did they leaked oil.

FWIW a 2015 won't have this issue. No jack off.
