Oil Drip

I've got an oil drip comin from what looks like a vent hose coming from the bottom of the stock airbox.

Too much oil?

It runs alot better when filled with 3.2 liters, but doesn't seem to hold it.

The oil is beginning to end up on the back tire on long rides, especially when I ride on the highway for thirty miles or so.

Any thoughts?

How many miles on that bike? Whats' the compression? Sounds like too much blowby. Could be over filled but sounds like you have that under control.

Well, th ebike has about 21k on it. As for the compression, it seems powerful enough, if thats what you're asking.

I measure what I put in, and it always seems to look like too much in the window?
