Question Oil return through bolt holes??

Has anyone ever heard of h-d venting there crank case vents through there bolt holes, on a twin cam motor. I have a se air breather. . The velocity cone. If I had the stock set up, would they vent that back through the motor?Using the stock air cleaner? I was told the se air cone allows oil to drip down the side of the motor . Is this guy full of shlt or what. I have 1600 miles on her with no problems.
here's a pic.

I vented mine outside, when you have a lot of oil coming from the vent it's either overfilled or you have other problems, the filter is ok.

The stock system vents the blow by into the air filter.

Your SE breather has a small little catch area. You can pop the plugs off on each side to see. As long as you dont over fill the oil you shouldnt ever have a issue. I have 15K on my SE breather and have never had any oil come out of it.

The air coming from your motor into your air filter housing is sucked back into your motor through your carb or injector along with a very small amount of oil mist.This tiny bit of oil will not touch the filter as it is moving toward the engine ahead of the air coming in through the filter if everything else is right.

One thing to have to watch is when the rubber hoses start cracking by the heads, a leak will occur. I've got S/E air cleaners on both bikes with no problems.
