The rear lower right stud on my bike has just loosened off. :(
The symptoms included louder tappets on the right, an idle less than it should've been and a noise that made me think the breather was a problem. Then I saw the faint oil spray down the frame.
It wasn't from the oil cooler, which would've been an easy fix.
Rocker cover off to discover a loose nut.
Tomorrow I'll investigate cost of repair.
Cheers, Steve
