S&S 113 ci oil leak
I have a S&S 113 ci evo motor. I have a oil leak coming from the exhaust port on the front cylinder. I have the crank case oil issue as well and understand this is probably related to the check ball in the pump. Does anyone know why i might be getting oil out of exaust port? Its not alot of oil just a seap of a few drops every so often but consistent. are these two problems related or different? Also a side note, I think there is normally a cross tube on the air breather where others have had a leak I have no tube there. Any help would be appreciated. thx

If the motor is sumping, as it sounds like it is from the ball check valve comment, couldn't it be oiling up the pipes because of that? I had an old Ironhead that had oil return problems & it oiled up the pipes something terrible. Once I fixed that, no more excess oil being flung on the cylinder walls by the flywheels, oily pipes issue went away. Tell me if I'm nuts, but I'd fix the sumping, then see what you got.

I agree I need to fix the sumping problem first with the check ball then move on. probably start replacing seals. Valve guide seal does make alot of sense..thx guys i will update what i find...
