Errrr, not sure. The only breather system i'm aware of is from the crank case to the air box. ???

Not yet mate, just waiting for the guy who's hopefully going to do it.Looks like it could be more expensive than i first thought, i'm now told the head may need to come off to do it.  I'll keep you you posted Deefa.

Cheers mate,

Should get it back on wednesday, of course he will not be able to tell if it's the valve seals untill the head is off, hopefully it is just them :)

Can't see it being anything more serious, everyone i've spoke to, including 3 mechanics! Reckons mine is the stemies & it has exactly the same symptoms as yours.

All the best mate, let me know what happens.
Cheers,
