Sounds Odd.

If Oil is coming up one of the bores wouldnt
you expect the bike to run on 2 and chuck
loads of oil or smoke out of the exhaust ?

The cam's/valves/piston are designed to draw
air IN through the carbs and push it OUT
of the exhaust.
How does the oil go the oposite way ?

Most motors have a pipe that vents the crankcases
into the airbox. This releses any preasure
and nasty oily fumes into the airbox when
they can be drawn into the motor and burnt.

Something wrong in the bottom end (or over
filling with s#it lots of extra oil) may
"pump" oil up into the airbox ? maybe ?

I'd buy it and have a play if the price was right.
