Got home from a cold ride and noticed "steam" (like your breath on a cold day)pulsing from the primary breather. If I hold my hand in front of the tube it comes away with a light coating of gear oil.

I had been noticing a couple of drips coming from the tube during the summer but it was never really enough to worry me. I replaced the crank seal a couple of years ago after it puked oil all over my rear tire on the highway.

I took a look at the gear oil and it seems to be at the right level. Just up to the bottom of the clutch basket.

I am hoping that it is just a little overfilled and it misting out, but this has never happened before and I must have changed the gear oil four of five times.

Any thoughts.
