Default banjo leaking
&nbsp\\;Anyone have a fix to&nbsp\\;a leak/weeping banjo bolt that holds an SE air cleaner on?&nbsp\\;Only the&nbsp\\;rear one leaks at the washers.&nbsp\\;

Banjo bolt is leaking at SE air cleaner.
&nbsp\\;
What banjo bolt is at air cleaner? I assume you are talking about a brake banjo bolt?

The banjo bolt that holds the vent hose behind SE air cleaner is leaking a few drops of oil after each ride.

The kit did not come with o-rings just washers.

Been a while, bare with me. The backing plate has 2 banjo bolts and on the inside you put the washers I think.

On the back side of the mounting plate should be 2 o rings, 1 for each side. Make sure these are there and may not have been replaced with kits but reused the stock ones.

Regardless of the kit, those two banjo bolts attach to the same place and they require o-rings that should have been there with the stock filter. If not there it will leak.
