Not much oil at all, but it only take a tiny amount to make a bit of a mess when it's spread everywhere.
I'm thinking of making a catch can to capture any blown out oil for the next track day.
I did notice a deafening silence about anyone with smaller pulleys on the SC having this issue on a track day. I guess all those are just on the road where you don't get this issue if you just doing a quick little "squirt" on public roads.

That was going to be my suggestion. If it's only a little I wonder if it's even worth a catch can, or maybe for track days wrap a bit of cloth over it somehow, kinda like we used to do with Z32s and reservoir socks.

And yeah, I don't track my 34, just the occasional squirt. In a few weeks though I'll be moving to the Turbo crowd. Might track it then.

Thanks MoulaZ, that's a good idea and so basic.
