No, that's ok, so long as it's only a little, a dribble, it's perfectly normal.

yes that's fine as long as its only a small amount, the oil breather is at the bottom of the air box and sometimes it blows up in to the air box.
I would be more worried if there wasn't any!

Make sure you don't OVER FILL the crankcase with oil, it will blow it into the airbox if you do.

As others have said, small amount of oil is fine. How much oil is in there? oil vapours condense in the airbox, i have some oil sitting in there :)

There is a noticeable mist of oil comes out of the breathers on full chat. Makes quite an oily mess of things too.

As I realised when my bike was on the dyno and didn't have them connected!
