Water and oil coming out breather
My bike has developed a new problem.
It seems like after a decent ride a mixture of water and oil come out my breather (which is routed to the air) and I find a small patch of the mix on the ground the next day or so.
I looked in the oil bag and oil seems fine (no water mixed in) so I'm kinda baffled where the water is coming from.
Is that the umbrella valves???

If the humidity is getting in my rocker boxes does that mean air is getting in from somewhere?
FWIW there is no oil leaking out of my rocker boxes.
I only ask 'cause this is a new thing that hasn't happened before.

Why can't you be normal?
Pull the hose off from the head breather crossover and see if the foam is in the top of the hose, that will tell you if it is just in the bottom of the hose only and don't worry about it.
If those umbrella valves are messed up she will pump much oil out the hose and oil your bike
