Default Blow by ?

Hey guys, I had never heard of this blow by, but I think I experienced it on one of my long rides. I was freaking out, saw some oil on the side cover and wondered what the heck. I could notsee where it came from and finally just decided to keep watching. I figured maybe it came from the valve gaskets due to the long ride, or whatever. Anyway, what is the mechanism? coming through the PCV into the air cleaner? It hasnt happened again since that long ride, but it happened twice.

Until you install some sort of aftermarket blowby catch tank or drain it will continue. Not much you can do about it.
