Smoking Crank Case Breather on an 89 Sportster 1200

My breather is nbo longer connected to the carb, its a hose with a filter on the end of it. It smokes like a freight train. I am thinking of just running it back along the frame and letting it some toward the exhaust in hopes it will get blown back by the exhaust. Anyone know of a quick cheap fix for this?????

John, is it smoking from oil spray on the exhaust manifold? Or is it something more devious internally?

Lol, definitely internal, this thing gets hot and smokes..... but it sure is cool to look at......

I am thinking this Egine may have a check valve internally?????? The smoke does not blow out, it just kinda drifts out. I know the big twins have a check valve, and if this one has a bad check valve it  would explain it. I am noticing that the bike has to be very very hot for this to happen as well. I am probably just gonna reroute the breather so when it does smoke it wont be in my face, and call it a day.........
