So…it’s still happening. It’s of varying amounts each time, still not as much as the very first time. But there are still a few drops coming out and and small stream from the breather.

I should hold off on riding it until I...
So, the fun and games continues.
I was able to get the receipt and itemized list of the first service. All fluids were changed and they fully reckon, that with the amount that came out, there was a bit of overfill but they will still check it. He did say a small ride to see if any more came out...
