Default Gas Line/Tube Leak

I was in the process of replacing the engine air filter and the gas line ripped but also oil started to come out. Pretty straight forward on the gas tube but where did the oil come from if I don’t see any lines near the gas line.
Where would I be able to get the gas line ?

Okay I’ll purchase one. But the oil where did it come out from? Is it another different leak?

Cant imagine how oil got in the fuel line, it goes from the tank to a pump to the carbs, no where is the motor conected to it. If on the other hand there was blow by or an overfilled sump then oil may get into the air box as the crankcase breathers lead there. Perhaps thats what you found. Best I can do, I'm not a mechanic.

Hi tokoloco,

Please take a moment and pop over to the new member area to introduce yourself to the forum.
Where are you from, how long have you been on two wheels, what bikes do you have etc.
We also love pictures.

Cheers
