Just bought a 2016 M8 SnoPro a couple days ago. First Cat I've owned, always had pro's but decided to make a change. Question is: the sled sat in a heated shop all summer, bought it 3 days ago, brought it home and put it in my heated shop. Started sled up yesterday, came into shop this morning and noticed a little oil under it. Pulled side panels off and hood, and noticed oil in the airbox, appears to be coming from the throttle bodies. The oil reservoir was completely full all summer long. Is this normal to have oil in the airbox??? Sled only has 800 miles on it. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Yes

According to what read, this is normal. You would be better served to post on the Pro Climb M site though.
This is the OLD M Series site, you know.

After u shut the sled off.
Squeeze the throttle wide open and let it slam shut. That will make sure the oil pump closes.
Oil in the airbox is normal.
Dripping out is because the oil pump didn't close all the way.
