xt600e strange oil leak ?? hose
hi troops my 2002 xt600e 4pt has suddenly started firing oil out off the oil tank frame overflow /breather pipe .! it exits down behind the starter motor /sproket area but was going on my chain and back tyre!,i split the pipe to watch and it seems to happen worse when i switch off and its at rest on the side stand .iv drained the oil and filter and refilled with 2.8l its not overfilled? the air box filter just has an slight mist of oil but its dry so the engine breather seems ok any ideas or comments gladly accepted ,typical its happends at start of summer i enclose hopefully 3 pics its the left hand pipe next to the dipstick.filler does this just vent to air ,thanks john central scotland ,bike runs braw apart from this
p.s just relalised my mistake in cutting the hose !! duh i thot it went to air /drain behind the sprocket area i now see it goes back into the top of the gearbox crankcase DUUHH !have reattatched with hose connectors jubilee clips etc so it drains back to engine .any usual suspect places the oil would be coming from. at the front sprocket area or behind the starter and dripping down? is the starter easy to remove? T.I.A
