Default External Breathers

Howzit everyone, new to the whole external breather kits. I have a 2021 FXLRS and I installed a feuling vented dipstick & feuling BA air cleaner. I ran the vented dipstick hose exactly how their diagram shows and ran the air cleaner hose also following their diagram but only using one filter for the air cleaner since I’m also using the vented dipstick. Changed my oil using 4 quarts. Did about 1,200 miles this weekend and the filter from the vented dipstick was dripping oil the whole time. A buddy of mine said that a HD tech today that you should run more than one external breather kit at a time…… Any truth to that? And is anyone else running the same setup or similar? If so did you have the same issue?? Thanks for any advice or tips!!!

The Fueling vented dipsticks are somewhat known for leaking.

Personally, I think the way to go is just the Trask vented transmission cover. For me, that's all I really run.
