Default breather dripping oil

got a bailey breather on the FRST with one of those K&N breather filters on the side.

noticed yesterday that the filter was dripping oil after a run, a drop every few seconds or so....making quite a mess whilst it was at it

any idea why this would happen? i can understand a little dripping but to keep doing it even when the engine is off and its been sat for a minute or so seems a little excessive? maybe a blockage somewhere?

well its a zvh ~250bhp built a year or 2 ago iirc.

its running like a dog at the moment lol just come back on the road after a couple months but seemed fine before....might have to look into it more as it smoked a bit when i started it maybe something more sinister
