just did an oil change. and after I put it all back together I started it up all seemed fine so then I shut it off.
I then noticed that oil was leaking onto the floor from the belly pan.. having a "holy expletive" moment I started taking the front end apart again. and thats when I noticed a huge amount of oil in the air box.. curious to where is was coming from I started it up again. and then shut it off. and thats when oil came pouring out of the what I can assume is an air breather hose that is in the air box that connects to the oil tank.
so now what do I do? do I let it all pour out until it doesn't anymore and then call it "fine"
do I drain the oil and start over again ??
I also notice a drain plug in the oil tank. do I just drain it from there? and then top it up??
what do I do

Did you drain approximately three quarts and refill with three quarts? I'm thinking it might be overfull.

when I drained the oil from the bottom of the engine, only .9 quarts came out... if I left it dripping for for longer maybe a full quart woulda came out.
I put in 2.6 quarts like it said in the manual

You need to drain the oil from the tank, that's where nearly all the oil resides. Not a big deal and easy enough to remedy. You'll be back in business in no time.

I drained all the oil of out the engine, both from the belly pan and the bottom of the oil tank.
I also cleaned out the air breather hose and foam aircleaner while I was at it.
