Posted June 29, 200718 yr I recently bought a 1100 Dragstar (secondhand) and when I opened the air filter cover quite a bit of oil came out. I have not had any other issue ....spark plugs burning correctly... no other leaks found........no cracks etc in case. Somebody said this could be a head gasket problem but can anybody confirm/offer advice please?

Could this perhaps be the solution??? -Ryan.
December 7, 200717 yr The engine has a sealed breathing system and will deposit the odd bit of oil in the intake area. There should not be much but if there is, then there is a problem with blocked breathers or within the engine itself. If it wasn't a Dragstar I would have said that someone had wheelid it too much. Clean the intake and fit new filters and change the oil. Check it in 500 miles.
