Losing turbo oil out oil tank cap.

[95RXL]

I have a Lenz brand vented oil tank cap and have traced my oil loss to that. I am filling my oil tank after every ride and it's an oily mess in the belly pan under the turbo. Anyone else having problems with this or is it just a bad cap? Any other caps people are using?

Take it apart, and add some tension to the spring, or replace the springs with a new one from ACE.

Sounds easy enough. Thanks.

I did as Justin suggested. I picked up a spring from Ace Hardware (23/32"...????) and I cut it in half. That definitely helped not to mention I think I had too much oil in there to begin with. Right now the site glass for the turbo oil tank reads 1/2-5/8's full and hasn't moved in 150 miles.

The cap comes off by releasing the 3 prongs on the inner cap. It will make sense once you look at it.

I took it apart and looked at it. No problem. I think I got it fixed without a new spring yet. I can suck air in now but not blow it out. Before I could do both.
