1997 Ski-doo formula 500. I just pulled it out from storage. While on the trailer, I washed it and the trailer down, tipped it up so the water could run off. I left it tipped overnight. Shortly after I set it back down, oil began to drip from underneath. Quite a bit dripped out, but eventually stopped. I put in new plugs, fresh gas and tried to start it. No luck. Pulled the plugs. They are covered in oil. I then noticed that the fuel pump (located below the engine) is leaking oil. It is coming out the top from what looks like a pressure release hole. The oil is not straight 2 cycle. It is creamier in color but definately the texture and smell of oil.
You can probably tell I don't know much about engines.
What happened? Whats wrong? Is it something I can fix easily?
It ran perfectly when I put it away in the spring.
