The threaded hose barbs came yesterday so will drill the blank plate to run a hose off it. When it's all fixed back on what should I see coming out? Misty droplets, steady drip?

just got around to sorting the blank plate with a vent in it now and run the engine for 5 - 10 mins to get the oil hot.
the dipstick didn't leak (or not yet) which is good and no leaks anywhere else.

When it was hot i got a steady mist coming out of the breather vent and a dribble of oil fairly steady increasing with engine revs.

hard to see but here it is



any thoughts or is it terminal??

Going to try and get some hose and run it into a jar to see exactly how much runs out.
