Default A decent amount of oil coming from carb

First of all motor is a 1988 evo with s&s super e carb. I have been running this setup for 6 years and now all of a sudden it started puking a little bit of oil from the carb. I thought my base gasket was seeping until I notices the bottom of the air cleaner was soaked. I pulled the air cleaner cover off and found a pool of oil. The air filter element was soaked too. The bike is running awesome and about a month or two ago I put some new baffles in the pipes (also carb jet) and it does cough every now and then. It has never done this. Any suggestions or ideas for the cause? Thanks in advance Jason

Umbrella valves no longer pliable?
Rings toast?
A leakdown test would alert you to rings.

No it's not Coming past the rings or valves. No oil on the plugs. I think it may have just been coming from sitting for two weeks or the caughing
