I've had this issue with two K&N filters now. The first one wasn't leaking much and it was only a couple days before my oil change appointment so I didn't worry. This time however I noticed the leak about a week ago, same day I made an oil change appointment actually. I figured it was the same as last time, but after a couple days I could smell the burning oil. It's all over my cat, front of the engine case, and the filter is covered. Came here to see if anyone had a similar issue and found this thread. I can definitely see that the hex part of my filter isn't totally flush with the body of it like in the pictures. Luckily my oil level hasn't dropped a noticeable amount (yet).
My oil change is Saturday so I won't be riding until then because it's obvious this thing could just dump oil at any time. Sucks because the next two days are supposed to be the warmest this spring so far and now I have to drive to work. Better than dying I guess. Never using K&N again.
