Oil Leak

[Anonymous]

Got a weird one here. I have oil coming out of my breather on a 81 GS1100. No smoke does not burn oil but after a hard run oil is blowing into the air box. Is there a baffle in the valve cover that might be missing or in the breather cover? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How is your oil level? Maybe it's too high...

i HAVE HEARD OF MODIFYING THE BREATHER OR VALVE COVER IF IT CONTINUES AND YOU ARE NOT OVER FULL WITH OIL.

The oil level is right where its suppose to be. On modifying the breather what do you suggest?

I am still having problems with oil blowing out the breather. Has anyone had this happen. Its on the 81 GS1100. There is no blow by and does not smoke out the tail pipe.

Are the 4 little pieces of mesh intact inside the breather cover. If these are removed you will end up with (more than usual) oil in the airbox.

Oil checked on sidestand or centrestand? -- It's not a dumb question...

My 650 has not got the "pieces of mesh" inside the breather cover , should they be there?

The cover on the 650 looks the same, so I expect so. You probably need the correct gasket too which only has a couple of small holes in it.

In reply to your PM......

There should be 4 pieces of mesh, one in each little chamber. I can't remember offhand if they go above or below the gasket or both. You could probably make it with a bit of stainless wire wool. The correct gasket only has 1 or 2 small holes in it.
