Default Wolverine 450 oil in air box

Hello fellow wolverine riders. There is a ton of stuff and great info about the wolverine. I baught my Wolvie in Sep I have 560 miles on it and about 55 hours. Today I rolled my Wolvie, I know the carb will spill fuel, however there was oil all over the left hand side. There was allot of oil in the air box and seemed to be coming from the cylinder head breather hose, is this normal if your quad is upside down? I can't remember if the engine was still running for a little while or not, felt like I got kicked by a mule. I haven't done any mods yet first thing to do is a HMF pipe, jet kit, and K&N filter. Installed a small digital hour meter from hobbs that I picked up from NAPA. Any input would be very appreciative.

Depending how long it was upside down this is normal. Clean it up and check the fluid levels and it should be okay.

Welcome to the forums!

It should be normal to have a little oil in the air box, depending on how long it was upside down, I wouldnt worry much, just clean it out and check the oil level to make sure everything is allright.
