   put a new filter on the other day and i had to disconnect the oil breather pipe from the air box, BUT now at the T section on the rocker cover there is loads of oil spewing out! i dont know if the fitment on the rocker cover is broken or if its just something that happens when you do this but where the pipe connected to the air box ive put an oil breather filter.
   
   can anyone help with my oil spew!?

   It shouldnt be spewing out loads of oil from the rocker breather hole, sounds like something is causing excessive crank case pressure...

   could it not just be the attachment at the t section broken?

    my saxo vts was doing this, it was that bad it was sucking oil through the side air breather the 1" pipe, putting it into the air filter pipe and burning it through the inlet, in the end i had to get an oil catch tank.
