i was joking lad lol.ye i would check the breathers as said above.if there was 1 blocked it would be causing pressure to build up.or also if theres to much oil in it could cause it

i think the first time it happened there could have been to much oil because alot came out . not as much oil came out after that but still happening. thanks for the sugestions .

did u look at the sealing washer on the oil cap.when they get to hot they shrink a small bit and go hard and dont seal properly hence the cap moving about

i tried another cap but its possible it could have been the same . i'll pick up a new cap and hope for the best . Thanks

Crankcase compression is mostly caused by worn rings,does the dipstick also come out?:bump:
