Don't know how you'd get oil in the airbox. Did you just put a K&N air filter in? The first couple times I rode after installing the Xtreme air box with a K&N, I got some oil but that's because the filter is treated with oil and the excess will blow out. Other than that, I don't see how that could happen. There are no oil lines close by unless you're having oil blow by from somewhere else.

The crankcase vents into the air box so if you have a blow-by issue with the rings or you over fill the oil you could find alot. A little would be common. check the breath drain just below the airbox.
