Default ytm225 leaking lots of oil out of airbox

I noticed a leak in the the rear and thought it was the axle. When I finally cleaned it up. I could see it dripping out of the airbox. I took off the cover and about a 1/4 quart of oil came pouring out.

What would cause this much oil in the air box housing?

I remember these old Tri Motos but cant remember how the air box is set up. You should have a crank case vent leading to it somewhere I think? Oil could either be from being over filled,a lot of vertical climbing dumping oil in the box,or just crank case vent oily mist accumulating over time and you've just now noticed it.

I think its fuel overflow into the crankcase. I ended up adjusting the float today. I was going to let it run and see if it leaks still. If it didnt fresh oil.

So anyways. I go to take the plug out and pull it a few times to hopefully get some fuel out but the plug broke off in the case. Now I have a new problem.
