back again with the rx1 from hell... just emptied the oil and to no surprise it was filled with gasoline (explains why it was spitting from the crankcase vent hose). The fuel tank was drained when I got it. I added fuel to the gas tank when I had the drain plugs off the snowmobile to see if fuel was somehow getting into the oiling system. no fuel came out of the drains, however there is now fuel leaking from somewhere else... I inspected the two lines that connect to the pump and no gas is leaking from there. the carbs and battery tray are off the sled because I was changing the oil filter as well. the gas is dripping out of the bottom panel on both sides. Does anyone understand where this gas could be coming from? I figured it was just the two lines connected to the pump? but are there any other fuel lines or breather lines where it could leak from?
 
Probably siphoned from fuel tank through a bad needle valve on one of the carbs.
