I am a Harley mechanic and have only see this once in over my 10yrs and was caused by the owner OVER OILING the filter. Just a little spray of oil on the incoming side of the filter, never any oil on the TB side is all you need. K&N filters comes on brand new CVO models from the factory. If they caused problems the factory would never use them.

Pink not red. A light spray and wait 5-10 minutes and you will see the oil spread out to cover the whole filter.
