Managed to roll it off an incline and upside down for a couple minutes before we righted it up. Motor oil running down the left vents. Started back up, runs fine. Is there a vent that would allow this upside down? Just want to be sure I didn't hurt anything. I suppose there is an egr or something that allowed this oil to escape. Help?
Thanks
 

well yeah the engine has a breather to let condensation out otherwise it would fill with water eventually

There is no egr that has nothing to do with the crankcase anyway
 
yeah my only tip would be next time before you start it let it sit a good 5-10 minutes to let the oil drain back to where its supposed to be in the crankcase, you dont want it to get into a cylinder and cause a hydrolock situation
 
I did the same last week braaapn lol! I lost about a liter of oil in a minute of being tipped in a ditch on left side, had to tip it back up against the hill, was not easy!
 
Took about a liter of oil as yours did. I'm a bit worried, if you couldn't upright it quickly, you may lose enough oil, it can't be started, Lousy design for sure
