oil leak

[Dan Atsma]

Any thoughts? Scrambler is leaking oil out the right side of the case, a lot of oil. The oil level is correct (it was down), took the side cover off cleaned everything up and rode it 1/2 mile no leak, ran it two miles at 55 and it spewed again. is there a vent that could be plugged and causing it to overheat?
I'm confused!

Check the top vent tube and make sure it is open. ..........lm

If I'm looking at it correctly, that's where I was thinking the oil was coming from, that dumps into the side cover through a rubber line. Am I looking at that correctly?

Yes.
Have you taken the top cover off the engine?. .........lm

confirmed the oil is coming out of the top vent tube, I have not had the top cover off. It seems to be leaking around the cover also.

More often than not we find the gaskets under the top cover have the small holes which are supposed to be in the front have been put to the rear. .............lm
