Sounds like a stuck float/needle or (depending on construction) float could have a hole in it causing bowl to overfill and leak out of carb. If it is just stuck, a couple of sharp raps with a plastic mallet (or screw driver handle) on body of carb may clear it. If this does not work, carb will have to be disassembled.

If in fact engine has been sitting level, then you have to check a couple of things.
Check oil level. Is it overfilled?
If it is overfilled, does it have a strong odor of raw gas?
How long has engine been sitting and well how did it run before you stopped using it?
Did this engine smoke at all?

Yup, I had this happen to one of my engines because it was sitting on it's side. I don't see any reason why there would be oil coming out of it if it was sitting right side up because then it would just settle at the bottom of the case.

If the breather tube connects to the carb, and it was on its side, go figger.
