I went outside and started my sled today to move it back and there was a puddle of oil under it. We took all the side plates off and it seems to be coming from the air box. Does the nytro do what the phazer does when overfilled, and blow it out through the air box? Also the steering is crooked and its noticeable in the handle bars. How do you fix this? It is a 40th anniversary nytro RTX.

have you installed an oft or other relocater?
 
Sometimes a bent subframe will cause your bars to be off.
 
As for your oil question, yes it does snort it back into the air box when overfilled. Learned that the hard way on both machines. Had to pull apart the air box, wipe out the box with gas soaoked rag and rinse the foam filter gas as well.

Now I definitely follow the procedure of running it, and not just letting it idle, then check the dipstick.

Thanks guys. That was my son who posted. I think the frame is a little tweaked which is why the steering is a little off. Was going to try to fix but my son says it does not bother him. Was going to fix the tweaked frame but not sure it is worth it.

I wish there was a cheap fix for the subframe issue. Not sure if it is worth putting a ton of money into it.

Going to change the oil today and fix the over fill. I'm sure this is why it spit it it out the air box.
 
If the sub frame is tweaked you can see this by looking at each front shock and check the spacing between the A-arms. If its tweaked one side will be very close if not touching the shock itself. If you put Grizz's sub frame gussets on this will strengthen the frame and it wont bend as easy.
