I recently read in a post that foaming oil is caused by the oil filter being in backwards and may wear out the valve seals.
Every time I chech my oil, it is either to high to low or no reading at all.
The other day I checked it and it was to low, so I added some. Then it was to high. After it was warmed up I checked it again and it was to high-foamy/bubbly.
I checked it again a few days later (no riding for a week) and there was no reading at all.
Even when I warm it up there is still no reading. It went from to high to too no reading at all. When I add some it reads too high and it's foamy.
Is this from having the oil filter in backwards?
It also leaks a bit of oil from under the exhaust flanges, it doesn't make a puddle on the ground but it sits on the fins of the cylinder, It's not a lot at all but i'm still concerned. Could this be from fried valve seals by having the oil filter in wrong?
Any help, advice, or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.
