Triumphrat

I have a 65 TR6 that was made into a chopper. The bike has sat for a while before i put it back together. It has an octagon oil tank. I drained all the oil out of the bike. Now after I put oil back in the bike. I only put in a quart and a half. It keeps leaking oil out of a black tube that is on the same side as the chain buy the front sprocket. Can someone explain how to fix or why it is happening? Thanks

Can you see where the hose comes from? Check and see.

Good Luck: Jim

it is the oil breather tube.

Silly question: Does the tube come from the engine or the oil tank? I wondered if it's the hose that bleeds oil off the oil tank return line to feed the rocker box "banjos"; is it a small (1/8" to 1/4") inside diameter?
