What's a "small amount" Keith? If it's just a haze then it's nothing to 
worry about - that's what the breather's there for (must admit I haven't 
looked in the cold air box on the Ward Spl for years!)

Cheers

Hey Keith,
It's probably just a small amount of blow by, rings still bedding in,
new engine, shorter trips etc.
The only guaranteed solution is to disconnect the breather pipe from
the cold air box.
