    :confused: I just tried to start my 99 softail from winter storage and when I did oil started pouring out my breather. It was ok when I parked it last fall. Does anyone have any ideas what may be wrong?

    Typically oil has seeped past the check ball and into the crankcase, when you start it has to go somewhere to get cleaned out.

    Or it's overfilled.

    I may stop after you run it for a bit.
