Did you overfill it by chance? Seems like the number one reason on here why guys are having this problem.
Edit: Just seen your other post, why 2?

I'm not an expert on this by any means, but I do own 2 - '06 Vectors from new. My understanding is, some oil will be pumped into the airbox area, however, that is what the smaller hose is for that runs back down and reconnects to the motor, it's a return line. So as long as everything is connected properly, I don't think there's a problem, if you have one of the lines disconnected, that's when you'll have a problem, aka big mess.tofast said:

My Nytro did this on its first 500 mile oil change done at the dealer. Freaked me out, I had oil dripping out of the bellypan! Loaded it up thinking they had two gaskets on the filter or something. Took it to the dealer and they apologized and said it was just overfilled, it puked what it didn't need out the breather into the Airbox and ran out. As I found later while doing my own oil changes its pretty easy to do, they are a bit of a pain to get to the correct level especially the first time. Hopefully it's something similar.

remember when your done changing your oil, when you check the oil level, the sled should be hot.

When you change the oil and the filter and drain the bottom of the engine, replace the oil with 3 Liters of new oil. Don't use the dip stick to refill it or you will end up over filling it. Just add 3 liters and forget it.
