I had mine for 20 years now, revs were oscillating at the very beginning, but a set of iridium plugs stabilised it perfectly, never suffered from leaking till now, when I cleaned it myself, and was more than gentle while adding oil, and also maybe not letting it drip off enough time, thus seeing red drops on the floor every now and then (specially the first week), I reckon that it may be fixed by opening it and cleaning the surplus oil that may be at the bottom of the filter, and cleaning also the bottom of the air filter box. It also goes elongating in time just by themselves...
I have done none of both things, and happy with it, it is also kind of funny, when I see a oil drop on the floor I like to have a look at the colour, blue=scottoiler, red=k&n, praying not to be black...
Appart from the oscillating, I would recommend the k&n, unless you love brake motor, I love the softness of stopping the throttle and letting the bike go, but if your riding is considering that engine brake to enter corners, you may be infuriating specially the first month... Or going out of the tarmac while adjusting the driving...
Hope this helps...
