Some time ago, when my Cali was parked overnight on the side-stand, a teaspoon of engine oil was deposited on the ground under my bike.
This, I am told is normal. However, after riding 100 km this morning and parking on the side-stand for 20 minutes, the oil was back. This time about 3tsp. It did the same thing when I got home. Another 3tsp and it leaked immediately, while I was getting out of my clobber.
The oil is coming out the drain hose in the bottom, left hand side of the air filter box. This is where it drained out before, a month ago.
My question is, " Why is so much more oil getting into the filter box this time?"
Anyone got any ideas?
Bill

Check the breather system.Make sure all the hoses run cleanly to where they go and there are no leaks. The oil return should go back to the engine via a port on the top of the engine.
If this isn't it, how many k's has it done? Too much blow by can create oil return via the breather.
Another option is the valve in the breather system. Make sure it isn't clogged.
Just a few options.
