There shouldn't be any oil in your carb.:huh Does it run fine? Check for gasket leaks.

i doubt its leaking for the carb. it is probably just oil that dripped on the carb. maybe a over service?

yeah theres no oil at all in carbs unless its a 2 stroke. Maybe your head gasket it leaking or your valve caps, eather that or the crankcase breather was loose or isnt into your air box and it spit oil everywhere
