Default Crankcase vent

Guys,
Do you know where the crankcase vent is on the 2008s? There is a tube that looks like a vent, leftside of the bike behind the primary. I get about 1 drop of oil out of this vent after riding. I thought HD vented into the intake now (which is stupid IMO). I know all the old bikes vented to the ground, but I though HD did away with that back in the shovel and evo days.

Default RE: Crankcase vent

that is the tranny vent. the crank case vents thru the head breathers just like the tc88's. from the head breathers into the throat of the carb oh I mean throttle body.
