Breather pipe

Hi
Just brought a 03 red touno with 6890 miles on the clock. I noticed there was some oil spatter in the area of the rear suspension and front sprocket. I have taken the plastic cover which covers the sprocket however although there was a lot of gunk no apparent leaks, but I did find that breather pipe which I think is the oil tank breather was resting on top of the cover and against. So I am assuming that has the oil expands as it gets hot the small amount of oil is coming out of the breather pipe and onto the chain and suspension.
My question is; Is it normal.Is this a from of chain lubrication?? Or should I be worried.
I have now moved the pipe so its not rubbing on the chain resting on a screw housing above the chain?

Aprt from that everything is peachy

Any help is appreciated
