Just a widdle oil

[bikesnbirds]

This winter I did a stage one rejet with a UNI filter. After I finally got all the carburation problems fixed she runs like charm. Only thing is that I get a constant dripping of oil out of the airbox drain. Not a constant drip, but it acumulates on the end of the drain hose and the next morning after a ride there are a couple spots on the garage floor. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, but I get kind of worried when ever I see oil on the garage floor, ya know? It is engine oil, not filter oil, so I imagine that it is coming through the valve train breather hose. What can be done??!!!?? Thanks.

Its either due to overfilling the oil by a lot...or blow by...
Cool.

oil is not over filled, what is blow by?

[The Buddha]

when the motor is cold especially the rings and cylinder wall have a gap where the compression blows by it...that mix of air and gas and carbon and oil from the rings will swirl around in your crankcase picking up more oil possibly and as the crankcase gets more of the compression blow by it will start to get pressureized and that high pressure will outlet through the valve cover into the air box...not the airbox has a good air draft going through it and that will cause the gas to pretty much get pulled back in. That leaves the oil which will run down the walls and collect in the bottom of the airbox and start to come out when it accumulates.
Cool.
