It seems like i aint going to finish soon with this scooter, now the scooter has started to dripp oil from the dripping hose , but its not like a drop or two, its more then that, and it hapenseverytime i stop the scooter, lets say i drive from my house to work, 10 minutes drive after i check the small hose that catches the oil its full, so i drain the thing, going back home, same thing. I remember that ther last time i changed the oil , i put too much oil in it and thats why i started to have some troubles, but that was more the one month ago, so i wonder if i should change any gaskets and wich ones or what do i have too look for, thanks for any help

Is this from the TRANNY VENT HOSE or the VALVE COVER VENT HOSE, in either case Tie the Hose up HIGH on the frame and put a Fuel Filter on the END of it and if it squirts oil out it will drain back into the valve cover. Alleyoop

If it's blowing out of the crankcase vent, you still have too much oil in it, and likely have a bunch in the airbox.
Take off the airbaox and clean it out, check the oil level on the centerstand, it should only be to the middle of the checkering on the dipstick.

i need to get my scooter naked and then i will tell you with pictures and details from where im getting that much oil, i took the scooter with the mecanich and he thinks my compresion went backwards...so im getting sad and exited at the same time, sad because that means i will have to stop riding for a couple of days, exited because i might need to mess with the engine. On a closerlooks the oil does not seem to be from the VALVE COVER VENT HOSE or the traini, it looks like its coming out from somewhere ealse...ill post more evidences tomorrow. thanks for your attention.

Do NOT listen to that mechanic and do NOT let him do a bunch of crap for a ton of money. He's full of it and feeding you a line of bull. Backwards compression, now I've heard it all. Get us some pictures of the problem and we'll get it fixed for free. Rich

Rich this aint no facebook, but i like what just read, lol...i got my scooter naked, and its an oily mess inside, ill post the dirty pictures, give'it a good clean, ill take the scooter for a ride and hope i can take better pictures of where the oil its comming from. thanks for your coments, i use to own another motorcycle, small one, and one time a mecanich charge me 200 dlls for a job he never did, it was going to change the piston and rings, God knows what he did , but i bet it wasnt that, as later i really had to change the piston and rings only to know that the parts where not vailable locally, and i had to waith a month for the parts to get here, sometime if not most, mechanics here want to take advantage of what it looks like a big problem....

WOW!! that is a lot of oil, Clean the oil by the Valve cover gasket in the picture I can see OIL on the right bottom and right underneath the Right bottom Valve cover screw. It may be the Valve cover is leaking and running down inside the Shroud and dumping it on the ground under the motor. But as your riding the Fan is blowing some of it forward. HOPE IT IS JUST the valve cover leaking. Alleyoop

I agree with alley looks like a valve cover leak..need to replace the o-ring gasket or take it apart, clean it really well, run a good 1/4 bead of red silicon around the cover, leave it set-up for 2 hours, then put the valve cover back on...

How much oil do you have in the crankcase?
It could be blow-by but check the easy things first..then run a compression check on the engine
