Default help (oil changing)

recently got my new oil tank (dont ask...), and my dad filled it up after changing the filtre, i got home and the tank was completely empty, so i filled it up again and waited about 10-15 minutes after riding for a minute or two and the tank was almost completely empty!!i put more in it again to see what would happen, but why is it doing this? does the block really hold a whole lot of oil?, its not leaking anywhere

There's nothing on the ground?

How much oil are you putting in?
