'03 FXDWG help
I recently purchased a stock '03 FXDWG. After a short 50 or so MPH ride, I noticed a small oil deposit on the engine, directly under the stock carb inlet flange. This would seem to indicate a problem of some type with the stock vapor recovery system. If this has been discussed here before, would someone please post a link to help me with a solution? I am not new to Harley, but I have never had a Dyna.
Thanks for your time.

My guess is oil blow by from the breather. This can happen even when the dipstick shows right at the full mark. Try removing some oil with an extractor or turkey baster and see if it helps.
You could consider installing an external breather set up. Some here have posted DIY instructions that costs very little. I ending up getting the breather system from DK Customs and it was around $13.
