FXSTC oil splatter ???
After a grip it & rip it type ride today I noticed some engine oil splatter on the rt side oil tank, then found more on the rear push rod tube & header pipe. The oil seem'd to be coming out of the bottom of the intake/throttle body... WTF ?
I checked the oil... not over full.
Any clues?

It's most likely coming from the crankcase breathers that discharge into the air cleaner - make sure you don't fill it above the 75% mark on the dipstick (hot), and in most cases that resolves it.

Oil Splatter
Thanks 1004ron,
I've kept the oil level on the low end, just above the add oil mark. I guess goin full throttle for a few miles here and there puts out alot of crank case pressure

Good pointer - a fouled air filter could cause a suction on the crankcase vents.
If it persists, consider venting to atmosphere through a filter - may good kits posted on this forum.
