My 2007 Ulysses is weeping oil on top of the rear rocker box and running back towards the exhaust port on the head.

It looks like the breather valve is pushed in well. What is the next step to stop this leak?

Thanks for any help,

Mark

Mark,
I just noticed my 08 xb12x is leaking oil from the same area. Mine looks more like a rocker box cover gasket than a pcv valve. The oil is coming out from the top of the head and dripping down into the fan area. I guess I am going to get it covered under warranty when the snow begins to fly.

Mine weeps from that valve grommet too. I just wipe the drool off when I see it with a rag and some
brake cleaner.

I fixed it last night guys. I loosened the airbox base and was able to push down on the PCV valve. It clicked into place, moved about 1/8 inch. I probably caused this last time I had the airbox base off.

I cleaned the oil off the top of the rocker, will monitor to see if I did a good repair.
