oil in vent tubes

I have a 2018 XMR 650. A buddy of mine rolled it in a pond over the summer and it took on a small amount of water. I took it to a certified can am tech and had him go through it and make sure it was good to roll. He said everything was fine and was good to go. Since then, i have had a small amount of oil build up in my vent tubes coming from the air box. It runs fine but it just blow oil by and idk why. i keep having to add oil to it every few months.
Any help or advice?

Replace lights with LED units

The single upper headlight on my '95 Magnum 425 does not work. Trying to diagnose that currently.

However, the pair of fog lights (or whatever you want to call the ones in the grill) do work, but the lens' are horribly fogged and the lights are pretty dim. Can i simply swap in new LED units or does something else need to be updated as well for them to work properly? I don't have new LED ones spec'd yet.

‘95 Magnum not running right

Bought this ‘95 Magnum 425 4x4 last year primarily for ice fishing. Previous owner put a new carb in before I bought it and it ran good. Went to fire it up this weekend and it gave me a hell of time getting it started.

Finally got it started on full choke by backing the idle screw all the way out. But the second you give it gas or take the choke off it dies instantly. But it’ll all day long at full choke as long as you don’t touch the throttle.

Pulled the carb and it was spotless.
Pulled the fuel pump (original) and it wasn’t horrible, but I’m getting a new one to eliminate all possibilities. Also getting a new inline filter.

Anything else I should check while I’ve got it all torn apart?
