I get some small oil spots around my Heavy Breather but it's not so bad. I just wipe it off, but I might be a bit desensitized since my Sportster blew oil like it was the pump, I had a Forcewinder on it and I had to run a line way back to give it an exit. Other cleaners actually point the crankcase vents INTO the carb to just ingest the oil on those.

I had blow by in my "hi-five" AC, the dealer put to much oil in at my 1000 mile service. I do my own now.
I had K&N juice blowing onto my pipes. I learned not to oil it so much. If it seemed over oiled when u got it then I would say its a safe bet the clear oil your seeing is AC oil. Be careful I'm having a hard time getting the burnt K&N juice off my pipes.
