If it has been sitting for months, maybe you just have a heap of condensation. I'd give it a good flogging for 50km and take another look at it.
With the flapper disconnected, you get more intake noise but no more performance. Tried both ways, mine is now connected.
Overfilled oil would be my guess too, blowing mist into the airbox and down through the combustion chambers chambers. I'd pull the air filter out...
I had a pinhole leak on the radiator on my ST1100, and that dropped about 20mm in the filler neck each time I checked it. A pressure test when hot...

My assumption with the VTEC valves is that they are going to be in use for a fraction of the time of the other 8 valves so they should need...
Yes the small hole at the front bottom edge of the muffler is for water (condensation) drainage.
That vent hose is the only vent point for the fuel tank, so if it heats up in the sun the vapours will definitely be driven out through the hose....
My VFR only has 100,000km, but based on how it runs I can't see why it would be worn out at 160,000km. I agree with FJ12, there are some parts...
