I have a fairly disused LM3. She was sitting for a while and recently got her going again. After a recent short parp up the road, we noticed engine oil starting to stream out of the breather pipe under the rear mudguard ! There is no plastic breather box and the carbs have individual conical filters on them. Larger diameter rubber breather pipe goes up into the bike frame just under the tank and then out through the smaller diameter rubber pipe that runs out at the rear mudgueard. I am not a bike expert, but can anyone suggest any possibles as to what might be wrong?

First thing, make sure you haven't overfilled it with oil. Tontis should be run towards the bottom of the dipstick, some even say lower. Certainly don't top up to the top mark as this will happen.
That's a starter but some proper experts will be along soon, I'm sure!
