Breather Filter Problem

Hi,

 

since ive owned my xr3i i have had an oil leak. never been sorted and tried numerous things.

 

at first it was the oil sump plug so we changed that and it stopped for a few days , then it came back and it was leaking from around the breather filter / crankcase oil pot thing ha

 

so i brought a new one just a basic CHV one .. which lasted about 1 week and then split open as it was only £5

 

so i brought a brand new one which was £25 and it is always clogged full of oil and pushing it out of everything possible. it is even pushing it down the pipes that go to the airbox and has made a hole in the bottom of the airbox which now leaks all over the place, is this normal? the only place the oil can be coming from is the engine? but should this much oil be coming from there

 

 

thanks

def not normal :sad: have you tried a engine flush and new oil/filter etc ? sounds like a blockage somewere so the oil isnt circulating properly around the engine etc, mine drips oil but its from the gearbox side so obv a drive shaft seal and cba doing it lol
