oil on underside of float bowls

[Semper Gumby]

The LH carb collects oil on the bottom of it when you park the bike on the sidestand.  Ends up running down inside he tube and leaking out between the plastic tub and the metal carb intake.

This may be crazy but I have turned the tube arround on mine so that the rubber hose is between the plastic air tube and the carb.  This seals the connection better and the oil presumably gets sucked into the motor during the next start rather than leaking on to the bottom of the carb.  

I have also stopped using the side stand for overnight parking.

Looking at this from another point of view and bearing in mind high oil consumption really ought to be cured at source. Consider in these circumstances of high oil consumption which is a better thing to happen:-

For blow by oil to find it's way out - OK it could be a better location and not drip on your boot.

or

For oil to get burnt in the engine where it carbons up the piston and cylinder head.
