I seem to have a problem with oil pooling on the top of the engine tin, where the red circle is. Just changed the valve cover, and its dry, so I know somehow its not coming from there. I wonder if its coming from the little hose just to the upper left? BUt thats dry too. At a loss here...

the bb is not a sealed container. when you remove the lid you'll notice how it fits. the foam piece inside traps the vapors (almost) and the pressure escapes at the lid. the trapped oil drips back to the head vent tubes when the the fluid level reaches the side fittings. can't see how the djet fi would care for the setup. source the right parts in the classifieds. you might consider changing the slotted screw clamps for shouldered type. esp on the pressurized fuel lines.
