Oil in my Carb breather hose?
08/03/12 at 10:40:07

Went to start up my bike and noticed what i though was a drop of gas coming out of one of my carb breather hoses. i wiped it away and it smelled faintly of gas but was def a drop of synthetic oil. not sure how it got there or why. any reason that anyone can think a little oil might come out of there? it dripped once on my belt and the other drop was hanging on the rubber hose?

is this bad? Undecided

Its not the crank case breather though i have a little cone filter over the crank case breather. There a two breather hoses that come out of the carb. one on each side. as far as i know the carb is mostly a one way street air goes in and pulls fuel in the same direction, nothing comes back out of the head into the carb? or am I missing something?
