Default 107" s&s oil leak

Hey ya'll,

Was out riding all day yesterday with no problems, woke up this morning to a nice sized puddle of oil under my bike ('03 Ironhorse w/ 107" S&S motor)??? I'd say around 1/8 of a quart. Bike ran fine all day yesterday and haven't had any problems prior to this. Only other thing I've been noticing is some oil splashing on the rear exhaust pipe right near the top where it comes out of the head. Is this oil from my engine or air filter oil? I run a forcewinder air intake. My real concern is the puddle of oil I found under my bike this morning as it was pretty substantial! Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Bbull

Is there any oil on the underside of the engine or the chasiss/rear wheel/tire? Can you see any evidence of oil seeping from around the filter mounting. When you first run the motor how much oil is being scavenged back into the tank..is it continuous or intermittent?
