95 Fatboy help
A buddy of mine has 1 95 fatboy with a oil leak from hell! I have checked post's here and made suggestions but he has a dealer working on it for the 3rd time with no sucess. I rode this bike for a year while he was deployed to Iraq, it had a small base gasket seep. When he came back he had a andrews 27 (I think) cam put in it and base gasket replaced. We then took off on a 800 mile ride and everytime we stops it dripped oil out of air cleaner. This never happened until after cam switch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Chris

I would guess that he is putting too much oil in it. The first thing he should try is running 1/2 quart less oil, then he normally does. Harleys will run fine a little low on oil, but if you add a little too much oil, you get the symptoms you wrote about.
