Thanks Jeff

ps it doesn't happen all the time...

Answer
Your have the same problem that has plauged harley riders for years. Your crankcase vents to your carb, with it goes a small amount of oil. Over time, unless you clean it out, it builds up and drips.
There are two different ways to fix the problem. First, clean the air filter area regulary. The other is, S&S makes a crankcase vent cure and it works very well. the problem is the oil pump has to be removed to install it.
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
