Default Oil Leak
I have oil coming out of my breather tubes (or around that area) when I ride longer then 40-45 min's (’09 FXCW w/ 6700 mi’s). Anyone know if this is normal, I had the shop tell me no BIG DEAL…and a fellow co-worker tell me it sounded like a timing issue (???). Any assistance would be appreciated…

check your oil level,most likely it has too much oil.If your oil level is good then check your air filter to see if it's soak with oil

Oil pump timing could be a consideration too.
