I have heard of oil coming out through the air box is the bike was laid over... but it wasn't on the DRZ specifically... and I would imagine... for that much oil... it'd need to be laid over for a decent length of time..

It was only a few seconds but it was almost upside down lol. This was pretty early in the ride too. So I rode it for an hour or two after.

No oil on my trailer from the two hours it spent on there on the way home and stopping to get pizza either.

hum... no idea then... could have been saturated the filter... and taken a while to drip down...

I know the first time I used the red spray oil for my DRZ I saturated it... like it said... next morining I had red oil all over under my bike... apparently i saturated it TOO much... but it took almost 24hrs for the oil to drip down and escape the airbox... (then again this was much thicker oil than motor oil)
