Oil in Air filter box
Hi,
I am a newbie to this but I recently bought an ST170 and love it. I recently replaced the stock air filter with a K&N one to find that there was some oil in the bottom of the air filter box. It had seeped onto the old filter too. Is this something i need to be worried about and how can i go about fixing this problem?
Thanks

Crankcase breathing system vents into the airbox so nothing to worry about unless the car's dumping loads and loads into there but hopefully you would notice your oil levels dropping.

How would i go about cleaning the breather system?
I will check the oil pressure though the dial seems to read ok when im driving and when its idling.
