??? few odd questions



Q, under the exhaust there is a little hole / after a blat yesterday I noticed what seems to be water dripping from it, about half a tea spoon in total dripping for around 5/mins or so after turning off bike???? is this a stock thing iv just never noticed b4 am I right to presume this is to let out condensation???.
I let the bike get up in temp b4 every ride however yesterday it had no balls it wouldn't even get up my driveway( steep- but never had any dramas b4 then, I removed the tank and drained the fuel thinking it might have gone off/- the last 100ml of fuel to come out was very cloudy ( water in fuel was my guess)- so I cleaned out the tank completely of all fuel and small amount of debris and replaced with fresh fuel, that's when I spotted the crankcase hose has a slight crack on one side and a bit of fuel dribbled out/ hence the questions.
the exhaust hole looks factory as the pipe is orig and in mint cond.
my other nc's have after market exhaust and don't seem to have this hole..!
cheers to all whome can help with my small brain questions, im stumped.
I did try finding answers in the workshop section to no avail
cheers again ladies and gents

Re: ??? few odd questions
Crankcase breather as in the one on top of the rear rocker that is connected to the airbox? If so that shouldnt have any fuel in it, maybe some running back in from the airbox if your running rich but i doubt that, could be petrol thats got down into the sump somehow, do you have the HRC fuel tap mod?
The exhaust hole if on your end can should be there and thats probably just condensation dripping out, its worse on these with the stainless pipes, slight change one of your seams has a little hole in letting more water in if the bike is stored outside in the rain.

Re: ??? few odd questions
Cheers kieran,
Taking a few pics now .
Bike starts first time everytime . Except on this occasion. New fuel now and seems to run better . The fuel I took out was pink and didn't smell to good - for fuel that is ..
Re hole in lower sect / under side of pipe . That makes sense.

Re: ??? few odd questions
that is indeed condensation drain hole.. most Honda exhausts have somethign like that in them.
as for the breather hose.. that most likely recirculated gas mixed with oily shit that looks like petrol... nothing to worry about unless theres masses of it.
perhaps water in the fuel.. some isopropyl alcohl in the tank will help the water mix with the fuel and burn off if its in small amounts, (providing you dont let it all build up and try to flush it through)
