Oil Is All Over the Place!
My Cannibal is pushing oil out of the airbox. From what I understand it could be: overfilled with oil, need breather hose update, or scavenger pump/gears.
Ok well I know I didnt overfill it with oil, it read right on the oil dipstick line, now it doesnt even touch it.
I dont think it is my scavenger pump or one of the gears. Because I took off the oil line that goes to the tank that is between the frame spars above the engine and tapped the started and it pumped oil out of it.
Lastly , I know that I dont have the oil hose breather update done. But why would it take over two years for it to finally puke oil? I have rode the bike hard and revved it hard for two years now.
If I need the oil breather update where can I get the new oil drain plug? Plus I would like to get the better transmission drain plug also. Thanks for the help guys!!

You might try purging the right rear frame chamber when you do the oil update-- a high arch in that hose from chamber to starter cover may have trapped oil back there after some overfill or rollover, and now the path of least resistance is toward the airbox. (just a theory) -- raise the rear end up high with the dipstick off to drain the hidden oil back into sump.
I have some kits and different types of plugs

Even though it's pumping some, the sump screen could be blocked or pump worn, and just not pumping back to spars as fast as it's draining back to inlet, and then you would accumulate down below -- I'd still at least pop the lower hose off of right-rear spar to check for excessive oil in there, or sludge plug-up there affecting intended venting.
