oil out the crankcase breather

[504-Ranger]

machine is a 1981 gs450T
list of what i already did:
-disassembled the carbs and replaced with new o-rings
-new intake o-rings
-airbox to 2/3 taped pods(to decrease air/fuel mix)

redid the electronics to a plate under the seat to get ready for some cafe mods and when i was done i threw a charged battery on there and with a little coaxing from the starter she turned over, after having her for nearly 4 months she was running...well after a while i noticed some liquid on the starter cover below the carbs...after some investigating its coming out of the crank case breather which has no tube in it(no airbox). i tried smelling it but its pollen season and i cant really tell if its gas/oil or just oil. i have not changed the oil/filter since i purchased it and when running the oil light is on. any help is greatly appreciated. also i cant jump on her and take her around the block because the clutch doesnt engage, but thats later on down the road.

Hi,

Can you see your oil level, or is it over-full? If you're not using your airbox, get another little pod-type filter for the breather. Also, if you take off the valve cover and breather, you should see four pieces of wire mesh, 2 in the breather and 2 in the valve cover. These are to catch the oil vapors so that they fall back into the engine.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

When installing pods you need to take your breather tube and dump it into a catch container of some sort to catch the splooge. Be inventive.
