Default Oil in the intake drain hole . . .

Got a 2004 Wolverine with a 50" Moose Plow. Was out in the blizzard plowing all day, and I noticed the intake drain plug filled up with something. Upon closer inspection, it was filled with a red liquid, I pulled the plug and about two tablespoons of the oil came out. I opened up the intake box and it appears to be oil from the foam air filer. I didn't re-oil the thing, why is it shedding oil like a ****? There was also oil at the bottom of the intake box???

Anyone???

Either way, I shouldn't be worried about Red Oil that is foam filter oil right??

Thats just the excess oil, on the air filter. If the air filter still has a red tint to it, youre fine. Its probably been in there awhile, but all the back and forth of plowing made it settle in the tube.
