Ours did this.

Your float is sticking open. Even with the petcock on Prime, the petcock is SUPPOSED to close and stop fuel flow. If it sticks open, then fuel will overflow the bowl, flow into the carb throat and down into the bottom of the airbox. Once the fuel gets high enough inside the airbox, gas will then run down into your crank case.

I HIGHLY recommend you drain your oil ASAP and be alert for fuel. I ended up with about two gallons of fuel in the engine case.
