oil drips all over my right shin area pant leg I think its from the airbox where there are two sidebyside bolts missing that attach the airbox to the frame. is oil leaking from this area common? should i just plug up the two holes with some good bolts and washers or is there something the matter with the engine that makes the oil come out the air box?

Thanks abunch
Jake

Your breather system is puking excessive amounts of oil into the airbox. You may be overfilling the oil.

In any case, you need to remove the airbox cover and clean it. Inspect the airfilter, and the breather system.

Let us know what you find out.
