Default Blow by ?

Fellas, just got back from an awesome 7 day trip. Left the Toronto, Ontario(Canada) on Sat July 31st, and got back home last Sunday night. About 5,500 kms(3,300) miles. While it might not seem alot to some, it was plenty for me. Just a question: when we headed out the first day, we ran pretty hard on the highway. About 75-80mph, at times. Not all day, but for several minutes at a time. The next morning at the motel, I noticed a tiny puddle, or drip on top of the cam chest, below the intake. Is this blow by ? It also sprayed all over the right saddle bag and some on the seat. I changed the engine oil before I left for the trip, and was careful not to over fill it. Followed the owners manual to the letter, putting in 3.5 or slighltly more in litres. Any ideas on this. I am running an open breather on the bike with the rain sock. Bike is a 2008 Street Glide, HQ-500 cams, Bassani 2-1 Road Rage and SE intake, with the Zippers max-flow element and the SE Super Tuner. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks guys...

My 08 RKC with Screaming Eagle air cleaner has some blow-by as well....seems more prevalent when really hot or I am getting on it hard. My oil level is about 3/4 between low and high and I am also running the HD oil cooler. I have no answers as to why....but have read other posts with same thing. Mine is so little it really isn't a problem, I take a paper towel and wipe the bottom edge of the air cleaner cover.
