Subject: [ST] On oil-leaking British bikes


So I think I've been bitten by what I'll label from the archives as the 
"crankcase breather valve" problem. 

So now on to my questions - 

The airbox breather tube end  was just dangling in midair above the 
swingarm pivot, a little to the left of center. Is this the correct 
location?

YES

Does anyone have the part number for the machined crankcase breather 
valve?

I assume you're talking about the seal. Up to and including engine 83309
uses part # T3550096. 83310 and up uses part # T3600059.  The crank cover
gasket is T1261036.

In the archives it was mentiond that there is supposed to be some sort of 
drip "bung" installed in the end of this hose - mine doesn't have it. Does 
anyone else with a  2000 have it?

Yes, it is a small plastic plug.

In the process of examining this problem I discovered an unconnected 
electrical "interface." It looks to have 3 or 4 conductors housed in a 
plastic connector and is just below the frame above and to the front of 
the right footpeg inside the engine area. I poked around and can't find a 
second mating connector dangling loose. Does anyone know what this is?

It is an unused connector.  It's supposed to be there.
