Doh! Airbox filling with oil 150cc gy6

Hi,
so I overfilled my scooter with oil and caused an oil leak. i thought i blew some seals or gaskets but came to realize that the oil was coming out of the valve cover breather since it had a hole in it. I cut that off and cleaned the oil soaked air filter then gave it a test ride. Mind you I did not let the air filter dry over night. I "blew" dried the air filter and went for a test ride and there is oil all over the place again. not coming out of the valve breather because i cut that part of the hose off. is it the filter or is something else going on? the oil is all dripping down from the air box. no other leaks apparently. i took the air box off and cleaned it. it was full of oil and fuel. the clear tube filled right back up with oil and over flowed. i am sure the air filter is soaked with oil again. The snorkel going to the carb has no oil in it so obviously it isn't leaking from the egr. although the egr clamp isn't on properly. i doubt that has anything to do with it though. If it was coming from the cvt case hose into the air box id have to assume that it would also be leaking out of the cvt case since when i changed the belt last time i didn't put a new gasket on but that side is completely clean.all the oil is dripping from under the airbox down onto the engine so i say it is coming from the valve breather. My air filter is possibly still clogged could that cause it? what else could cause oil to go into the air box in excess?






well amidst the abundance of fml one seemingly good thing happened, i found an old air filter which in comparison to the current is beyond half way decent and its dry!
