Default Crankcase breather

1992 Heritage

Just finished service on bike and the crankcase breather still leaks at the filter. It was also leaking prior to service. The bike has been sitting for a while, is there a easy explanition for this? Also does anyone have a picture of the oil tank hose routing for this bike? I think everything is back on right, but just want to make sure.

Thanks for the Help,

God Bless,

WEB

Most likely it's leaking past the check valve after sitting for a period of time. Might want to pull it and clean the ball and seat and see if will stop.
