Engine oil in air filter
My 2005 FXDI has had the Stage 1 kit (air box modification, slip ons) for about 15,000 miles with no trouble. When I opened the air filter housing to clean it for the 20,000 mile service it was covered in oil, as was the mounting plate. I've heard that some oil will come through the breathers, but this seemed to be an excessive amount, and it hasn't done it before. Is this common? What could be causing it? Thank you in advance.

RE: Engine oil in air filter
My 2005 FLHTI does the same thing- - I first found it was spittiing oil while up at elevation on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Lynchburg VA last month....I checked the oil, and have it in the mid range on the dipstick. - - Also if I run it fast (80mph) on the highway in 90 degree weather...Guess it depends on the circumstances, and yes, the filter was saturated - - I've had the same SE filter since 3k, now I have 14300K -- time to change it I guess....
