I went riding last weekend and while trying to turn around on a tight trail, I went up a small bank at an off angle and gently rolled my bike over. after getting it back on all 4 wheels, I was checking everything over and notice oil comming from my air box. upon further inspection, i notice about 1/4" of oil in the bottom of the air box. Question...1, is this a normal occurence when a bike is rolled? and 2, how is the oil getting there? Thanks for any help you can throw my way...

fuel leaked out of your carbs and back through your filter and washed some oil off into your airbox.

Sevys got it right
Theres a line that goes from the oil tank to the airbox.

You are correct. What the hell am I commenting on a Scrambler for when I am unfamiliar with them. I posted a guess. sorry.
