No oil in tank?

im thinking older bikes the anti drain valve is not doing well. I noticed mine change from several days to next morning tank empty, all that oil in the crank cant be good.

I think the oil is draining into the gearbox and is not actually in the crankcase being whipped up by the crankshaft. The crankshaft is higher than the sump. It's not foamining the oil and it appears not to cause harm or any back pressure.
Most of these bikes are draining down from what I hear and read.
 
O ring included

So did I but mine still drains down. I wish I knew why.
 
Nope, i dont think it should leak without engine running and pressure pump calling for oil to spray. Im trying to learn it.
