How does oil end up in air cleaner?
Although system details vary, one solution was to plumb the breather into the air cleaner. The fumes coming from the crankcase are then recirculated back into the engine and burnt. Here’s how the oil ends up in the air cleaner. Crankcases can only contain a given volume of air and its attendant pressure.
What kind of air cleaner do you use on a Harley?
On medium heat & high speed, it’s still way less heat & velocity than the element experiences during normal riding operations. A little 90-100 degree low pressureair (low enough to not compress the fibers, is perfectly fine. Hell, same exact media for diesel rigs, K&N replies you to use a pressure washer & compressed air.
What should I do if my engine oil keeps blowing into the air filter?
Purchase an engine flush formula from your local parts store and follow the directions. In general you will pour the formula into the oil and run the engine for a period of time. Once the engine has been flushed drain the oil and fill it with fresh engine oil. Replace the filter and see if the problem persists.
When does oil start leaking from air filter?
Discussion in ‘ Touring Models ‘ started by chpgreg, Sep 1, 2011 . This is my first posting so i dont quite know how it works. I have a 2011 road glide ultra 103, with 6,000 miles on it. after the first oil change at 1000 miles it started leaking oil from the air filter area, onto the motor and blows back onto saddlebags.

Why is oil dripping from my Harley air cleaner?
Same problem on a 2012 ultra.tried running low oil didn’t work just junk harley internal parts. Don’t blow out with compressed air! You will ruin the element. Shake the filter and them let it air dry. Phooey… As long as it’s not high pressure, keep it to 10-15 psi, it’s fine.
