So i accidentally put too much oil in my crank and when i went to drain it out the i found that the previous owner had stripped the drain bolt beyond repair so i thought id just run it and see what happens. Well oil is spraying all over my front end, shocks steering shaft and such, but i cant find where the oil is comming from. Best guess is a small gap at the top of spot where header meets engine. Please help! Thanks
 
The trans vent line runs up to the front. Just behind the cylinder there is a clear tube that runs up to the frame, follow it out, it ends up in the front where your talking about. The other possibility is your exhaust flange is leaking.
