Has it been overfilled with oil at some point in it's life?

have you cleaned it to see if it's still happening?

No i thought i'd just take off the air ducting to have a look (only 1 nut on btw???). As you know i need to remove and clean it soon so wanted to see just how bad it was....

This being the other tube that connects to the air ducting not from the air filter?
