[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 553750, member: 240"] Sounds like a previous owner has disconnected and removed some of the breather pipes. Its quite common especially since swapping carbs, dissy, air filter and of course whole engines will change the way this stuff can be connected - or not. A lot get deleted. As for your oil, check the breather pipe from the filler to the air filter is clear inside. Then check your dipstick, there should be a small felt seal up inside the cup. If it's missing then some oil seepage will occur. If you have crank case pressurisation it will show by blowing oil vapour out from behind the fan belt pulley and out the oil filler if you remove the cap and rev the engine. The engine will also use a lot more oil than it should. A compression check should be done as final confirmation, plus the crankshaft end float should be checked before making any further decision on repairs. [/QUOTE]
