Default Oil in wolverine air box

ok well long story short some chick rolled my 07 wolverine bent a tie rod. today after fixing the tie rod I looked at my airbox and there OIL all over the place. now I ran my ATV for a little bit to check everything out

1. It doesn't smoke
2. top speed and everything seems fine
3. no smells etc burning oil
4. didn't check the spark plug I will TM when it's cool

I mean is there anything I should do? or check out? that WILL BE THE LAST TIME anyone else uses my atv urg...

My son filled his wolvy with water in a mud bog and I had to tear it all apart and drain all the water from it. The air box was full of water and I tipped her on her side to empty it. I noticed that the little hole next to the hole for the air filter started spitting some oil into the air box while she was on her side. Long story short, I cleaned it up, took it to the dealer for an oil change and he said it does that when on it's side. He said it was nothing to worry about. Sucks when someone wrecks your equipment. I have had three sleds that my friends have totaled.

yhea you should be allright, just keep an eye on the airbox and check it after the next couple of rides to see if there is anymore oil in it.

On the left side of the machine, there is a little circular cover plate with the oil symbol on it...pull that off (its just held in by pins and little rubber washers) and there is a dipstick behind that. Just make sure the oil level is withen the hatch marks on the dipstick.
