    Oiled breather pipe

    Theres a tiny amount of gooey oil coming out of one of the breathers into the airbox. It's the one closest to the block. Any ideas what would cause it? Don't wanna put a new filter in till its cured.

    See ya

    its a breather pipe, its there to vent off oil vapours.....hence the oil.

    Yeh I know what they do, just seems to be a lot more than i've experienced before. Enough to dirty the filter.
