Oil Coming from Gearbox Breather

    Went for a ride out west at the weekend and fark it was hot. Stayed at Cooyar. On returning home I noticed oil had spewed out my gearbox breather ( I know it's gearbox oil cos i run Redline heavy shockproof ).  Any ideas as to why it would all of a sudden start doing this. I thought maybe because of the high temps we had on Sat & Sun just unsure/

    Any input would be appreciated

     

    Cheers Phil

    Currently running redline heavy shockproof which I have run in the bike for the last 4 years. Oil level is fine. It has never done it before only last weekend which was on a ride in temps up to 44 degrees.
    Has me baffled

    Strange given theres only a small hole in the gasket to allow the gearbox to breathe...maybe just pull the top off and check gasket is ok. .
