Default Oil Leak?

I have a 2006 Electra Glide Standard with Stage 1 kit and Powercommander III. The bike also has Rush true dual head pipes and screaming eagle slip on mufflers. Other than that the engine is stock. On a couple of occasions I have noticed a little bit of oil leaking/spraying out of the engine onto the round top mounts for the air cleaner where it connects to the heads. I have noticed that this happens when it is extreamly hot and or humid outiside. The engine oil level is ok and the engine sounds normal. What could be the cause and what is the fix?

If this were mine I would take a wrench and gently see how the bolts all around there are. The vent bolts, they are hollow so be careful, just a little wriest action here , and the top covers arount there.

May be all needed.
