Oil coming out side of airbox

Hello all,

I've just finished a carb cleaning, oil change, new air filter, and coolant change. I took my bike out to gas up and add air to the tires. The bike seemed to ride fine. When I got back and set my bike on the kickstand, I noticed small drops of oil coming from the side of the airbox. Is this normal after the oil change? I checked my airbox and saw just a small amount of oil in there. It wasn't hot.

I've added some photos of the inside and out leak spot of the airbox. Is the amount of oil in the box look normal? Also, should the plastic 'X' in the airbox be snug with the filter. I did notice that it was not.

Thanks for the help!

Everything looks normal. You might have overfilled the engine with oil slightly and this is just the engines way of getting rid of the excess. Air filter looks OK to me.

The filter may have had too much oil on it.

Manual's method of pouring engine-oil into centre of filter and squeezing always seem to over-oil filter. I usually spray single layer of K&N oil on each side and that's it.

It's REALLY easy to over-oil the filter and cause problems, especially if you pour oil on the filter and work it in.

I also use a spray oil - and just one coat. I learned the hard way that two coats is too much.
