Default Oil In My Air Filter

I have a 2007 Polaris Hawkeye 300 4x4. It has around 250 miles on it and I've been getting a TON of oil in my air filter. I took it to the dealer and they asked me if I had flipped it or over filled it (WHICH I HAVEN'T). Does anyone know why or how this is happening????

The oil reads low, but like I said it is SOAKING the air filter with oil. The dealership sold me a new air filter told me not to add any oil adn see if it did it again and IT DID...


ANY HELP WOULD BE A BIGGG HELP.

Are you riding a lot of wheelies with it? If so, that is more than likely the problem. I used to have a Yamaha Raptor and I rode wheelies all the time and this happened to me until I quit doing that.

sounds like the rings or somethin is either sucking the oil in or its pushing the oil in. can you see the inside of the carb thought the air box? if you can look to see if theres oil in there. if there is its coming from inside of the engine. id guess rings are letting it by.
