Fill the engine, then see if you have the same problem.
I agree, that's your first move. Only times I've seen this problem is when,
A- overfilling the oil,
B- float needle sticks in carb. fills crankcase with gas. if your oil smells like gas and is diluted your problem may be there.
I've seen this overfill problem when trailering a buggy. Without a manual fuel shut off, the bouncing jiggles the float causing fuel to fill the cylinder. you can drain a fuel tank this way.
