Hi guys, hopefully someone can shed some light on my problem. I have a 08 800 Outlander, and there is a lot of blow by oil getting into the airbox. I put a K&N air filter a while ago, and am wondering if they are connected. Anybody else come across this? I have about 1300 miles on it.Thanks. KB

did you over fill it with oil then ride a bunch of wheelies it could cause it to puke up the crankcase vent line into the airbox.

No, I haven't had it on it's side. I cleaned all the oil out of the airbox, and it filled up again. The oil is coming from the crankcase vent I believe.

Imagine that.... the dealer can't find anything. He said to ride it some more and see what happens.

Thats what they always say. Im gonna say that your crank vent is pinched or partly blocked. Pull it out of the airbox, and out of the crank and check. Since if its part blocked or something, there will be a lot more pressure there, that can carry oil through, and shoot it into your airbox.
