55 Electra oil leak
View from the bottom up.
Greetings,
i have a 1955 Electra with sidecar and today oil poured out of a oil nipple. The nipple was on the inside where the chain is. Why would this thing suddenly pour all the oil onto the driveway. I was trying to kick the bike over when it happened. Any insight would be appreciated.

Beleave it's the head breather and used to oil chain back then. Most of been plugged and finally cleared it's way again. Read on her normal to leave a quarter size mark ever time bike is parked. Looks like it's been moved though.
