Oil coming out of the air breather on a Harley can indicate a few issues, often related to excessive crankcase pressure or improper engine breathing. This can be caused by worn piston rings, valve guides, or a clogged breather system. Additionally, if the bike is overfilled with oil, it can lead to oil being forced out of the air breather. Regular maintenance and checks can help prevent this issue.

Why does oil come out the air cleaner on Harley Davidson 1991 fat boy?

Too much crankcase pressure or the breather pipe is split/dosconnected. The crankcase breather goes into the rear of the air filter and the crankcase gasses are drawn in to the cylinder with the gas/air mixture and burned


Why is oil coming from air cleaner on 2008 Harley?

Oil coming from the air cleaner on a 2008 Harley can indicate several issues, primarily related to the engine's breather system. A common reason is excessive crankcase pressure, which can force oil vapor into the air cleaner. This may be due to worn piston rings, valve seals, or a clogged breather system. Additionally, overfilling the engine oil can also contribute to oil leaking into the air cleaner.


Why does oil drip out of the air cleaner in a 1984 harley Davidson softail?

There is a small chrome breather tube going to the air cleaner from the oil tank. After the bike sits all the oil drains down to the tank and when you first start the bike because of the low volume oil pump the some oil goes through the breather and into the air cleaner. you can go to a dealer they have a kit to fix that problem.


What does oil come out the air filter on a 1988 FLHT?

Because the breather system(Crankcase ventilation system) was routed to the air filter. Most people remove the line going to the air filter and route it to a breather filter which you may obtain from any Harley parts retailer. The problem is if you only ride your bike occasionally, it will continue to squirt when you first start it, do after installing the breather filter, remember to put a drain pan under it when you start it.

Why is there milky foam in your Chevy 350 oil breather?

Check your oil, if it looks the same you may have a blown head gasket. If your oil looks okay you may just have had some water get in it from somewhere else. I found that i had milky residue in my breather and the problem ended up being the carb was forcing air back down the breather tube. When air is forced into a small space it compresses and moisturises. The solution was to take off the breather tube and put a cap or separate breather filter on it.
