Thanks for replies

I noticed one of the black ones has a slight oil drip formed on it, so slight that no drop left on floor overnight, is this normal?

Dougl said that the three pipes are the carb vent, tank vent, and battery vent. You asked if condensation is normal for one of these pipes, I replied yes. Is anyone missing something?
