91' Heritage Softail Spitting Oil
I have a 91' Heritage Softail that was running fine, but now when I go to start it, oil gushes out of the air cleaner area via the vent/oil tube located there. Why is it doing this and how do I fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If it is doing it as you start it up, then you're getting oil draining into your crankcases when the bike is sitting. I think the late Evos still have the ball-check valve in the oil pump that is s'posed to keep the oil in the tank, but I'm not positive about that. Check your service manual.
