100% air filter oil, I have checked the banjo bolts and they are fine.

If you are trying to get it painted red then you are using too much.
A fine mist is all you need.

That's one of the reasons I switched from the SE to the AN Big Sucker, no banjo fittings, no mess. That, and the fact that I can clean the filter with the K&N kit, as opposed to throwing away the SE paper filter. And yeah, LIGHT on the oil...

Just came back from a 50 miles highway ride, no more oil dripping. I will use minimal air filter oil from now on. Thanks guys!

You don't need to keep oiling it all the time. It only needs oil when you clean it.
When cleaning it you must let it dry completely be fore reoiling it. If you are cleaningit all the time because it is not red you are cutting down on the life of the filter.they work fine when they turn gey.

I have a trick to dry the air filter, wash and rinse, put it on the top of my car defrost vent, start my car and turn on the heater to mild hot, it takes 10 mins to dry, there you go!
