oil seepage
I've got a problem with some oil seepage on my 88'fxrs...the seepage is coming from the pushrod tube area up top in the head...not alot but enough to agitate me...I replaced the o-rings first...still had a problem...then I replaced the inner tubes,cups,springs and o-rings again..not as much oil seepage as before but still there..anyone else have/had this problem?...I'm thinking of spending the extra$$ and getting HD pushrod tube kit...the ones I have now are some after market,not even sure who made them..any suggestions or tips on how to fix...not seeping on all..one on the rear head and appears to be a slight seepage on one on the front head and I've been careful not to damage the o-rings.

RE: oil seepage
Just in case anyone is wondering....I fixed the problem...I used some teflon tape around the tube and o-ring,wrapped it around a few times..stuck it back up in the head...been dry as a bone since...if anyone else ever has this problem...easy fix w/o taking the rocker boxes off etc.
