Too much oil? only takes 75 cc's of 30 wt oil OR is it milky colored? This can be antifreeze in counterbalancer from worn water pump seals pumping out

The counter balance will overflow IF overfilled, that's what your seeing I'd bet. It won't effect the motor. It will continue to overflow until it get's the proper level. Only holds 2.5 oz. Book states..."If overfilled excess oil will be expelled through the vent hose."
