It appears I went a bit overboard on the motor oil so I drained it a bit. Before that, I took a whiff of the oil (especially the oil that leaked into my breather tube) and there was a faint trace of gas... Not sure 'cos I'm just getting over a cold so my olfactory senses are a bit impaired. In any case, the foggy breather is indicative of fuel leaking into the engine somehow, right? I'm going to lean toward removing my carbs and rechecking the float heights and for any debris that might be clogging the passages. Before anything though, I need to suss out this oil leak.
I cleaned up the engine as best as I could, kicked the engine over and ran it in idle for a couple of minutes to dry it off and then brushed a coat of some baby powder around the seams of the mating layers of the engine. I'll let this sit at least overnight or the next couple of days and periodically check to see if I can source the leak (great trick, calj737). I know that the leak has only occurred when I put a load on the engine so that'll have to be in the next couple of days before I go out for a ride. Keep y'all posted. Thanks!
Oh, and I also readjusted the valves, made sure there was tension on the cam chain, and rerouted my breather hose to align with my exhaust bracket that attaches to the right rear foot peg. There are no kinks in the hose and there are slight dips/valleys for any oil to puddle and not drip out (not drip directly onto the rear tire, sheesh). I think this is a better location...
