When the problems started I did have a pretty clogged air filter, but though I cleaned up the box, put in a fresh filter and even removed the snorkel the oilspitting continued. Not all the time and under random circumstances.
I'm no mechanic wiz so I hope someone here have a clue what's going on. Could the crankcase ventilation have been messed up somehow because of the first oil spills? Could the AIS, that sucks air out of the air box, somehow make it worse? What should I check?

are you sure you are checking the oil level at the correct time from having the bike running ? cos this is normally signs of to much oil
