When you changed your oil, did you put in the correct amount?
When checking the oil level, is the bike level on both wheels and the oil level between the lower and upper mark on the sight glass?

The hose attached to the airbox is to allow oil condensation and other fluid to drain from inside the airbox. Too much oil on the air filter can run off the filter and drain through this hose. too much oil in the crankcase can be forced into the airbox via the crankcase breather tube into the airbox, then that oil will eventually drain out of this tube. Gasoline that overflows out of the carbs will also drain through this tube.

Find out where a half a tank of gas went too. The first two things you need to check is your petcock and carb float valves. open up the airbox and inspect it and then check your crankcase for evidence of gas.
