using oil

[49Reo]

The K&N filter oil is red; likely source. Has your bike been smoking? That's a lot of oil; mine uses none.

Okay, I need some help. Forget the oil screen for now. I've drained the oil and after 5K the engine has apparently used quite a lot of oil. Less than one quart drained. I took the air box cover off and found clean red oil in the filter rim and inside the air box cover. I switched to a k&n air filter last oil change. What is going on?

No oil in the throttle box

Edit: I'm now thinking the oil in the air box is the oil used to oil the K&N air filter.

I'm chainging the oil in the Drifter and having difficulty removing te oil screen. I've broke the nut and the thing just keeps spinning not backing itself off the bolt. I must being something wrong.
