I changed the oil and filter for this coming riding season, and when I popped off both of my plugs, white goo oozed out from one, maybe 15-20 drops. This was from the hose that is NOT the oil drain hose. What is that and is it a sign of anything?

That's water (from condensation) in the crankcase breather. It's natural and nothing to worry about.

Just drained mine yesterday ... looks like "snot" ... actually a mixture of oil & water.

... Normal ... especially for lots of short trips in cold weather ... condensation inside engine ...
