Air filter question

Will cleaning my K/N air filter help stop it from leaking oil? I have tried the obvious in draining oil level down to about 1/2...but not helping.

Doubt it. Try checking the breather tubes and hoses. Make sure there aren't any kinks or pinched hoses.

It is really easy to over oil the K&N filter and it is the filter oil dripping, not the blow-by.

Lot's of times they will even come over oiled brand new from K&N.

This is a useful thread also-
