I've had one of the K&N 138 oil filters on my bike for coming up on 7k miles. (Installed at 11k, bike has 17.9k). I've got an oil change coming up. The service manual only goes up to 14.5k miles, but I'm guessing the oil filter is meant to be changed every other service beyond the 11k one. Anyway, starting about 400 miles ago, my bike developed an oil leak which seems to be around the oil filter. I've tightened the filter several times, and it's now in that "this makes me uncomfortable how tight this is" range.
My questions to you are:
Have any of you guys had an issue with a small oil leak around the filter (like a drop or two on the ground after each ride)?
Am I correct that the oil filter should be changed at every other service after 11k miles?
