[Ducati] More Bottom End Venting Issues

[Smsalenius at aol.com]

Something is causing too much crankcase oil pressure in my 2K M900ie:  
blocked line?  faulty oil pressure relief valve? plugged/damaged mesh  filter?  
faulty oil pump? Any other ideas, folks? Oil is going up into  the
airbox in significant quantity (the whole bottom of the box is wet) and  then 
coming out of the airbox breather tube. It made a nice puddle at my  ride 
meet point this morning.  No other engine performance issues,  just puking oil.  
Gingerly rode home at low rpms, avoiding the back  brake.

This oil issue began all of a sudden. No oil in my garage parking  spot this 
morning, must have begun on the freeway ride up there from Santa Ana  this 
morning. Just over 27,200 miles on the odometer. Religiously serviced, oil  
changes every 2,000 to 3,000 miles. Had an oil seal problem on the cam belt lay  
shaft about 1,000 miles ago. Could that have just been a symptom of the current  
oil pressure problem? The seal was replaced and all was well in that  
location.

I will take it in to the shop on Tuesday.
