I read alot of the questions and answers but it didnt seem to help so its my turn to ask....My sportster leaks all the time, sitting still or running, I always see the oil (mind you not big time) just that i can see it on my floor when it sits, and on my frame after i have been riding it. first question is will changing to a heavier wieght oil (50 straight)rather than the standard 20/50 help this, and the second question is is there anything else other than leaking past the valves or changing the gaskets that can help
(I have replaced the gaskets and replaced the valve guides)
Thanks, Little Joe
