Default Couple of twin cam questions

Hey guys, a little background on the ultra. 07 I picked up with 10k on it, now 14k. It had slipons and came with a SE tuner but had stock AC. I have no idea what was taken off that would merit the tuner.

I just changed the stock AC to a fuelmoto and when I got the stock element off there was an oil spot on it about an inch big under the rear cylinder breather. The front cylinder is dry under the hose. Oil level mid stick cold for the last 4k on M1 oil, never used a drop, well at least a few. Is it normal for the 96 to loose oil like that, just out of the rear?

Second question, the bottom back of the stock AC back plate there was a 2 prong plug dead headed there. What's that about?

Connector is active intake on HDI models. Not uncommon for oil to be seen in the air cleaner, several folks reroute the breathers to prevent it from going back into intake.

Thanks dawg.
I expected the oil to be normal but hasn't heard any chatter about it on the TCs, just newer ones engines.
