Well it's all my fault, as predicted – too much oil... way too much! Pulled some out over the weekend and now we're back to normal. I must have totally 'lost it' while doing my last oil change. I changed the oil a while back and then hadn't used the SYM during the winter months, that's why I failed to link the oil change with my problems. The vent tube no longer appears to be blowing oil, which I had never seen it do before. Hopefully I haven't done any lasting damage to seals etc. Many thanks to all for the help & advice  |

Thanks for the reply and yes you're spot on, it is indeed a vent tube. The trouble is that it's venting (blowing) a lot of fluid, too much to ignore. So I'm trying to determine what that fluid is likely to be, oil or fuel. I'll have a closer look at the weekend but I was hoping somebody might recognise that part of the GY6 engine to give me a 'heads up' to likely cause.

On my Sym 125 Shark 4V there's some fluid leaking from one on the engine drain rubber pipes. I'm not sure whether this is fuel or oil, it seems a bit of a mixture. I'd be grateful if anybody recognise the line indicated on the attached figure and might suggest what to look for to solve the problem. The Shark doesn't start well but seems run OK but after a while fluid blows out of the attached rubber hose-line  |
