Default Engine breathing a lot of oil!!! WHY???

My engine has started to breath a lot of oil out of the breather pipe and it is leaving puddles of oil in my garage every day. It has always had a little bit of oil come out but nothing as bad as it is now. What would cause this?

Thanks

Steve.

Not that i can see. It is a standard breather pot/tank so was thinking it could be full... is that likely to happen?

Make sure all breathers are clear otherwise you will be creating alot of crankcase pressure and forcing oil out of places you done want it to!

the breathers block up on them quite alot thats why to upgrade to a breather kit if you look around i got my kit from burtons for 125 all in one of mine was blowing the oil cap off .so i put one of them kits on and that cured it
