Okay, I just had another oil leak fixed. This was the third, and this time the leak was from the crankshaft stator wire pigtail. Where the rubber grommet and wire comes through the case (I think the excessive heat fried this) and they had to tear the primary all a part to do so. While in there they found the crank seal blown and the primary extremely overfull with motor oil, go figure. Now I got it back, and it seems to be a little cooler on the primary side, but now it has what I would call excessive crankcase pressure. It sounds like a beer opening when I check the oil (which makes me thirsty) at certain times. It had done this before when I first started riding it in 09 and the Tech found no problems. I guess what I am wondering is, I know that with a Automobile that excessive crankcase pressure can cause all kinds of oil leaks and other problems. I am a retired Auto tech from many moons ago, and what scares me even more is what the cause of excessive pressure could be. Do these 110 engines have that much blow-by? Do I have a vent problem? Is this bike going to start puking oil again from a new spot? Last but not least, what kind of internal wear and damage has already occurred, because of the oil leaks, blown crank seal, over filled primary, and general high temp operations. If the primary was overfull then the engine was low on oil. I have 19000 miles on the bike and wonder will I ever get to 30,000 mile service. Maybe I should dump this bike now and get a Road Glide Ultra, but I love "Big Red" and would hate to see her go, especially at a loss of about 10,000.
