Just started bike for first time but noticed oil pissing out of the breather hose under the bike WTF. did the right thing before winter like treating the gas tank, change the oil, etc ,etc So what caused this??Never did this before Many Thanks. Also is there another way to get to the trans plug without having to take of the exhaust pipes on my 1992 springer softail to drain the fluid

It sumped...the check ball may be dirty. Take out the screw, spring, screen, and ball shown in the diagram. Clean it, and use a couple cotton swabs in the orfice they came out of.
