I was trying to figure out what the hell was all over my polished tail and happened to pop the seat off to see a small puddle of oil in/around/on the fan (blowing it everywhere). Then I traced it up the back of the rockerbox cover. I then took the air box off and I could see the oil coming from the breather on the rear cyl, out from around the whole base of where it goes into the head.

nice.

All right Misato. Now you have TWO oil leaks that the ex-spurts at DHD can fix. :]

Seriously, give TJ a call and set it up.

Was the oil overfilled at the last change? That could probably do that. Those breather's just fit snugly in there, I don't think they're sealed, really.

Misato, I just talked with Spencer and he agrees that you got a bum deal. He is going to try to have the service center call you and arrange to pick up your XB.

...if its not too late...
