Default Blown Push Rod Seal

Was riding my 2010 CVO Street Glide Friday when the push rod blew its seal on the rear cylinder. Shot an oil mist about 15 feet in the air all over me and the bike. Upon inspection the rod had popped out a little and the seals were all blown on the front push rod on the rear cylinder. The bike has ran fine with now problems and been in for all the service maintenances its only 4 months old and has 3k miles on it. Any ideas of what would cause this problem?

look for plugged crankcase vent bolts, passageway, something is causing too much case pressure

The problem is it's a Harley. Get ready for all the ongoing maintenance problems on the POS 110 engine.

Thanks Charlie. The dealer is picking it up today since it is still all under warranty. I will see what they come back with. I imagine that they will find something that comes back similar to what you are saying. I have a few friends riding CVO's with the 110's that don't have any issues.
