Tried to start my machine and I guess it was too cold. Maybe i cranked it too much because now there oil on the ground, the oil is dripping out of the bottom machine like by the plate you take off to change the oil. Any ideas? I don’t even know where to start.
Look and see if oil is coming from air box. If it is the checkball stuck in oil separator. standing on right side of sled right above exhaust the black box with aluminum shield on it. Take the big hose from it to tank off tank and blow in it. If checkball is still stuck you will feel it release. If not just get sled warm.

Found a place to get my machine i side and warmed up. Ill post my findings soon. How does this happen? Just moisture build up?
Yes. Never start these unless you can run it long enough to get real warm.

Got it warmed up, started it and dont see any oil dripping, so it must have fixed itself, thanks for the help.
