Thanks everyone!
I found in the FSM where it says to drain it. I wasn't sure if there was supposed to be a layer of oil or something to catch dust. But after I looked at where it was coming from, if I have dust coming out of the crankcase, I probably have other problems, lol.
Re-Run, as I understand it in theory, I think there might need to be a plug in the tube to be able to drain in a controlled situation, and not blowing the bit of oil and other moisture vapor on your back wheel, brakes, etc. But there's probably so little, it may not matter. But I do remember when I first got the bike, the T-joint that feeds into the breather box was split and spewing air and a bit of oil. With it being right under the front of the seat, I would always come home smelling heavily of fumes and oil. I replaced the joint, and that fixed a lot of the problem. (I use the term problem lightly, as I'm one of those people that likes the smell of oil and gasoline. The girl, however, didn't. Well, that one at least.)
Thanks all for your help!! The engine rebuild is coming along nicely. Well, aside from the two seized bolts that I snapped the heads off of.

On my 78, I dont think I have that plugged at all but just let it go. I will have to look sometime to be sure though.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
