depends how much, swiming is bad.
Theres a breather pipe, that feeds into the airbox, so mine has a few drops of oil in there, but not a lot. You can buy a filter for the breather pipe, and attach it elsewhere, but a bit of oil shouldnt hurt. If you are over filling your oil it could just be some excess being spurted up the breather pipe. |

I always clean it out, it probably achieves absolutely nothing though

Cos next time some oil comes up there won't be any there! See?
Yeah, i know It's not like I go in just to empty it out or anything, just when i've got eh filter out I always give it a quick wipe. Has anyone else noticed how variable the length of the pipe on the RHS of the airbox is? Mine is about 9 inches long, Jimmy's is about 4 inches and I saw one on Ebay that you'd need a magnifying glsas to find. We are still talking about airboxes.
