Yep,or it could just be the vent has come loose.Those vents have a short threaded section which screws into the crankcases.I seem to remember mine was forever leaking.You could check the breather and the pipe mentioned above first.I think I used a little ptfe tape on mine to help seal the joint.Be carefull tho,those threads are pretty fine.
