|  over filled the oil during oil change I have a leak after doing an oil change. It dawned on me that my bike sat in my trailer after getting it home from eastern oregon last week, it was there for 4 days or so waiting for the weather to change. Not a drop of oil so it has to be from putting too much oil in. Now I have to figure out where it would leak from in that event, maybe a crank case ventilation tube or something. If this sounds familiar please help me out. Thanks.

|  Won't the leak stop once you properly adjust the oil level?

Could be an improperly tightened drain plug. Could be from an improperly installed filter. Could be just a strange coincidence. It all depends upon where the leak IS and how much is coming out. Could just be a few drops left over from the change itself and not a leak at all. So.........what indication of a leak DO you have? And what makes you think you over-filled?
