Avoid scarring/damage to the governor shaft. Governor will have to be properly set when governor arm goes back on. You can search this site for instructions--Rob has posted them several times.
Apparently, as Rob has suggested, your carb has picked up some trash that is holding the needle open and gas has run through the intake, past the rings and into the crankcase. Could also be a defective inlet needle. The thinner gas/oil mix has made it easier to leak past the seal.
Once you get the carb problem taken care of and the crankcase refilled with the correct amount and grade of oil, you may still have a leak but likely slower. Had you noticed any oil on the equipment below the seal area before you encountered the overfill?

THANK YOU! You guy's are the best. I will look up the instructions and see if I can do it or take to someone else. I have 2 more questions for ya first other than just draining the oil, is there something else to clean out the gas that leaked through? What oil should I use in this engine? Thanx again you guys saved me I figured I needed a new engine.
Thanx
Mike
