Leaking oil out of breather pipe

[DevonJay]

Would anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting a leak out of my breather pipe.
Engine seems to be running fine.
The leak is minor leaving it's little spots and making a little mess of the tinwork.
Could this be crankcase blow by?
Thanks
Jay

Two things to check. Firstly make sure the pipe from the oil filler is connected to the air cleaner and that it is not obstructed. Next check the rubber "beak" is fitted to the bottom of the the metal tube, under the tinware - and that it has not gone hard with age.

I had an issue on a beetle where if you have them little k&n style breathers they get clogged up with oil blocking vent

What's the rubber beak for?

It's a valve that controls the breather pipe air flow into the case. It prevents oil mist exiting behind the pulley.
