Some photos of where it came from, not where it went, may help indentify the issue. :lol:

I'll give you $2 K for it..... leak n all ;) :lol:

seriously you will have to dig deep... take the seat off & look for the origin... possibly the crankcase breather from the rear of the engine

NOOOOOOO don't block it......it is there for a reason, either work out the problem or get a mechanic to have a look.
Is the oil coming from the breather? or is the hose cracked?
