Ask in the Workshop section, this one is for biking news (like law changes) and biking issues (things that all bikers face) not individual biking issues - if you catch my drift.

They're very helpful in there. I seem to remember, while I was laying on the ground with a broken leg, watching the guy pick up my bike a load of fuel coming out of the overflow pipe. I suspect this is what it is, though my mechanical capability stretches to cleaning my chain.

Scratch-and-sniff.

Smells of petrol = might be an issue.

Feels watery and slippery and smells of oil = crankcase breather, ride and enjoy.

However, do keep an eye on the oil level, they're known for burning through their oil between service intervals and seizing.
