Hey all not sure why this started, but it wasn't an issue till I changed oil 2 weeks ago.
Every ride it seems to leak from the cap...

I have changed the oil cap seal, no change and original looked fine, so I put original back.
Not sure what is the cause...I know I overfilled it when I first changed oil. But I drained it all that same day and refilled to proper levels.
It's hard to check the site glass alone however, but I'm pretty sure it's at top site marker when straight up and down.
Any thoughts/ideas???
Edit:
I have noticed I put oil cap back on hand tight, and I mean where it just starts to tighten. When I need to clean oil leaked, the cap is an utter bitch to get off... As if someone gorrilla gripped it putting it back on.
