Oil in Airfilterbox?
 

Well, looked under my airfilter and in the airbox theres like a bit of goopy dark oil, Im wondering is this from the airfilter being past its sell my date or ........

Does anyone know why I would get oil in this area, i have dropped the bike twice recently but dont see how oil could get down in there, and the bike was picked up immediately.

Any help appreciated, even if it seems like im being stupid!!!

Cheers

Mine has a bit of oil it's not been over on it's side or wheelied since I changed the oil last week.

The crank case breathes into the airbox - two hoses into the bottom of it on the left-hand side. Mine's always got some in it, and (touches wood) I've not dropped it, ...yet.

I sometimes wonder if it isn't also petrol spray-back from the carbs - it has that sort of smell to it.
