So my divvy has the infamous oil leak of pain in the arse...

leaks into my airbox out the airbox pipe on the floor..

i fixed this issue by putting a little bottle behind the cylinders and cut the pipe to allow it to leak into the bottle so i can throw it away and save it leaving huge piles of oil wherever i stop for more than a nano second.

this leak is getting noticeably worse.
I have cleaned the pipes out a fair few times but its still causing me issues, im finding a new issue now with this and thats the fact gravity isnt working in my favour and i don't get all the oil into the bottle, the rest leaks out the airbox and down onto the carbs then onto the cylinder.

Is there a real true fix to stop the oil leaking out everywhere and going where it is supposed to go?

Not to up on putting a bottle on the side of my bike to catch the oil in as its just a huge pain.
