Default Carburator Problem

I am not much of a mechanic but I am having a problem with a fuel and oil mixture pouring out of my carburator. I have pulled of the air cleaner, and on the left side of the the carb looking strait at it their are two small holes the fluids are coming out of the bottom of the two. It is not a small amout as I said earlier if is flowin.Any sugestions on how to fix this problem would be helpful.

Have not added two stroke mixture...when you shut off your harley some oil stays at the top and is recycled when you fire it off. The bike has set for awhile and that may be the fix thanks for your help.
