Evo Oil Drops

Question for Fix My Hog

I have this 1992 FLTCHU with 50,000 miles, and now all of the sudden I am getting blow by drips under the bike after 150 to 200 miles of good riding. What is causing this and is there a cure? Electra Glide Classic

If the oil you are referring to is coming from the bottom breather, you may be able to remedy the issue by stretching the check ball spring in your oil pump. Only stretch it so that it is approximately 1/4″ longer. If it doesn’t change anything, or eventually becomes worse, you may need to consider replacing the oil pump with an S&S pump.
