Default Help with kart

Hey folks,

So we decided to buy a go kart for my kids and I, I am in the military so I’m gone a lot and thought it would give them something to do. We bought a Fox Carbide 1500 with electric start, really nice IMHO.

Heres my issue. While they were out ridding on it something happened, im not sure what... There was oil covering the floorboard of the kart and I have NO idea where it came from. Now the front left tire is tilted into the frame and when we got the wheel to the left all the way the wheel rubs against the chasse of the kart. I tried adjusting the tire rods to no avail. I am not a mechanically inclined individual and never will claim to be and if anyone could help a dad ready to kick his kids asses i would appreciate it..

breather tube may have come off and been spraying oil behind the seat. up front check the upper ball joint on the suspension arm to see if it failed--or compare the two sides to see if a tree or stump decided to step in front of them while they were riding ....
