hose leaking oil ?

[harley74]

It comes off the back side of the crank case and runs over my shocks. I have an 03 chopper.

it's the line to the left.

It's a vent hose, and will get a little wet. If you feel you need some new hoses.

Have you changed the oil lately? Maybe it's a little over full.
Sorry I'm not much help tonight, to much Scotch.

I'd say you need to replace the hose. 3/8 inch oil line hose fits. I just had to do mine. Fun removing the oetiker clamps.

I guess my question is where do the hose go? It's not hooked uo to anything.

 

[Mr. Wright]

It's a vent hose. Some people put the end of the hose in a little Jack Daniels bottle, or something to that effect. I ran mine up to my air cleaner.

Thanks Shannon.

Mines blowing a good bit of oil out of it.

Hi Les,

Assuming your oiling system is fine and cylinder heads are breathing properly (no clogged hoses), then try to measure engine compression. Why? Because worn piston rings will cause crank pressure to increase a bit, which in turn will blow out more oil out the vent.

I had the pleasant surprise to notice no oil blowby after I put on new rings. not a single drop.
