clutch breather
The gearbox will pressurise , does it leak more when on a sidestand,is it a modified clutch housing letting the oil chuck up from the clutch straight at the hole?
You could knock something up that moves the breather away from that area, say a pneumatic airpipe fitting into the breather thread and some airpipe that comes over towards the flywheel side ,or at least to a higher point.

I had a T5 motor that would do it but only on sidestand and especially if revved, that's got a cosa clutch but i think the cover is standard T5.
It's probably something daft like the where the oil flings up from those clutches just happens to be in the right place to get quite a lot up the hole . It was obviously not the gearbox pressurising from the main seal failing as it would not do it when the bike stood level and it was running fine .

I thought I had a clutch breather problem on my own T5 a while back . Changed the oil seal on the clutch actuating arm , changed seal on the cover , changed cover and in the end plastered the clutch cover in liquid gasket stuff ! Still no joy and oil on the tyre and backplate . It turned out that the gasket under the carb had failed and started to weep oil out over the cover . Is there a chance that your carb is slightly loose or that the carb gasket has failed ?
