Boertjie, getting back to your original post, excessive oil in the airbox is not necessarily a failure of the breather. It can also mean your piston rings are worn and causing excessive crankcase pressure.

Hi Tim, yes I agree. Piston rings were also on my shopping list at Motobins and I am busy with the honing of the cylinders. The leak down test also test positive for bad rings and the compression test showing different figures for both sides.
