What causes oil to leak from Breather vent on Harley Davidson?

Do you need to change the engine breather system?
For all moderate stages of engine tune, the standard PCV system should cope with the increase in engine power whilst continuing to control the emissions from the crankcase. However, even on a fairly new car, the system should be thoroughly checked and any suspect valves, hoses, etc. replaced.
What to do if your transmission vent is leaking?
If inconsistent readings persist, inspect the transmission vent assembly to be sure that it is clean and unclogged. If readings are still inconsistent, contact your nearest Allison distribution or dealer. Insert the fluid level indicator into the fill tube and remove. Check the fluid level reading. Repeat the check procedure to verify the reading.
How does the engine breather system reduce oil consumption?

I think it’s a vent for the transmission and just runs over the transfer case. The fluid leaking out is red and l believe this is transmission fluid and not the autotrac fluid. The truck seems to drive fine and I checked the transmission fluid level and it looks good. Any reason it would be leaking from the vent tube?
What causes air leak in Chevy 8.1L Vortec?
One other potential issue worth point out: sometimes the manifold itself can be the cause of an air leak. The manifold on the 8.1 is made of plastic (as most are) and over time the plastic can warp and crack from the constant heat it’s exposed to.
