Default 1999 fatboy

Hi all,

Just recently noticed I have some oil flying out of the bottom of my rocker box (mounting side) far enough to get on my bags. In addition, I have some oil dripping out of air filter onto engine. Just got this bike back in June, has around 10k miles. Any suggestions on what to look at/repair? This is my first bike so kind of new at this. Any help/suggestions are appreciated!

Can’t help you with the oil from the rocker box, but I’m sure there are plenty of folks on this forum with suggestions. As for as the oil at the air filter - occasionally when I over fill during oil changes, I will get some blow back through the air filter. Hope this helps!
