200 miles, oil leak

[depechevelle]

I am aware that the brass fitting has been a leak for some; mine is ok so far. My leak is definitely collecting in the bottom of the airbox and then dripping all the way down.

My bike also pours oil on the left side of the front cylinder if I drive for a long time at high speeds (above 8000 rpm). I try to keep the oil level in the middle of the viewing window.
And still periodically, oil pours through the ventilation tubes of crankcase gases.

In my opinion, nothing can be done with this. This is the design of big forced V-twins - they have a high crankcase pressure due to the rupture created by the two large pistons.
Similar problems have people with rotax on old Aprilias and original engines of DD1200. I had such bike for 3 years and all 3 years I struggled with crankcase gases and puddles of oil in airbox.

Attachment 1558 where abouts does it leak or can you not see it from this view

You can't actually see the area in the photo but it's underneath the area with the red box. There are three breather tubes that come up through the bottom of the airbox and it puddles then leaks out from around there. Most of it drips all the way down the left side of the engine and sometimes a little bit drips on the right side.

I have the same leak, I thought it was the brass fitting as well but I also chased mine up further and realized it was coming from my airbox as well. I'm still trying to figure out where exactly it's coming from, I'm going to tear it apart this weekend and hopefully figure it out.

Did it end up being the breather line? I have the same leak and I chased it from my left side up to the airbox as well.

On most our XBs we do a reroute with the pvc vent tubes, Is this something that should/could be done with our 1190s as well ? just throwing it out there.
