06 FE550 Leaking Oil Badly and Overheating

I have an 06 FE550 and lately I have noticed a lot of oil coming from the top of the engine, I searched the forum and tried the RTV silicon on the valve cover gasket and changed the valve inspection cover o rings as well. Next two rides oil leak is much worse and I am constantly boiling antifreeze on tight single track when other bikes I am with are not. I am using Engine Ice, purple stuff, for coolant.

I am seeing a bit of a milky color in oil but nothing too bad. No smoke from the tail pipe.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Check for cracks in the breather hose (oil leak)and cracks in the carb intake boot (lean condition, overheat). You really need to have a fan kit installed on the bike as well. Does the cooling system build pressure? Faulty radiator caps are common.
