Check oil level or drain the oil tank if it smells like gas or even if you have doubts,drain it as you're just talking about two quarts of oil and a filter. If the oil does have a gas smell to it,the carb may be flooding into the cylinder. This can cause excess gas/oil to fill the air box. May need a carb kit.https://www.ebay.com/itm/POLARIS-SCR...hUGdHy&vxp=mtr This kit fits the 2010 500 also. Hard carb to set the float level,but this article on a similar BST40 carb shows you how.The BST-40 Bible | Adventure Rider
