Default Bayou 220 - Oil out of Overflow in Cylinder Head

Good Afternoon.

I recently purchased a 95 Bayou 220 and it runs very well. When it is running, there is oil coming out of the overflow tubes (one by the rear wheel and one by the handlebar). If I let the engine run for a minute, there will be a puddle the size of a half dollar by the rear wheel.

My first thought is this may be blow by, but I am not sure. It starts on the first pull and runs very strongly. It does not burn any oil. I thought there was too much oil in it, but I drained the oil and refilled with the correct oil and amount. Also, I took off the top cam cover where the oil is flowing out of and the baffel and everything up there looks clean and in good condition.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob

Sounds like blowby to me too. That was the first sign that I had a broken ring in my 300 Bayou.
