oil from crank vent

[76shuvlinoff]

In the past after a run I'd get a nickle spot of oil from the crank vent. Now I get a spot that'll spread to well over a silver dollar size. Maybe this isn't anything but it sure seems it got instantly bigger after I went from the L3S to the Andrews 7 cam earlier this year. I was careful as hell and bike runs great but now I am wondering if I got the breather gear off a tooth. Thoughts?

You know it'll bother you until you check that........

  I doubt it is, might have something to do with the new glide, and she's pissed! Ol Betsie didn't act up until there was a younger gal parked next to her either...

Get a new check ball, spring, clean the seat best you can...   you know the drill Mark....

Brian,
Check ball and spring... I didn't think of that because it's not sumping at start up, only drips after a run. I might was well pop those out though, easy enough to look.

Yeah Scott, you're right. With my tank getting patched I have the time and the gaskets..... 

We're probably talking about 1/2 a teaspoon of oil.  I need a life.

Mark, I didn't read close enough to see it was after a run...  probably not anything to do with the check ball then. 

But if it's after a ride, it may also be doing it while you ride too. You sure that's not a Twin Cam?

Could be Brian, I have it dumping right behind the swing arm pivot point on the right side. This morning I see the rim is getting grungy on that side.
