oil leak
I took my trike to a dealer to get it checked over and while I was there I went ahead and had them change all the fluids. Now I notice a little oil on my exhaust and on the fender. I can't find where the oil is coming from and it's not a great amount of oil but I was wondering if something could have been left a little loose and under driving conditions lets a little oil blow out. It didn't do this before the change and there are no oil spots on the garage floor and like I said I can't see any place where oil is seeping out but every time I get done riding there is oil on those two places. Any ideas?
There is tons of advice here on that issue. Mine does the same thing, I put a maxi pad on the bottom of the inside of the air filter cover

RE: oil leak
Actually I was kind of wondering if thats where it came from. What causes it, bad gasket? And will it get worse if I don't get around to fixing it soon?

RE: oil leak
Its common to have some oil blow out the breathers. With the original air filter the oil should be pulled back into the engine through the carb. With the Hi Flow air filters the oil gathers inside the air filter cover and drips onto the timing cover and sprays the right side cover and bag. (on my RK). [:@] I think this is made worse by overfilling the engine.
