1098R, oil thru pot and into exhaust, gumph!

Hi, the bike sounds OK but obviously the heads are gonna have to be whipped off for a butchers.
I've heard from a reliable source that the pots can glaze with hard use and cause this problem... Any ideas peeps? Cheers.

Unlucky to have such a fault, but very lucky not to do some serious damage
