Outboard stored on wrong side

[basstender10.6]

I bought a 5hp evinrude four stroke (1999) and put it down on the wrog side for around 10 minutes while transporting it.. Now oil is leaking into the engine bay.. How do i drain the oil that leaked and got into the engine bay and carb?

Set the mtr in an upright position on a stand or boat. Check the oil level in the c/c and top it off to correct level Then look for a drain plug on the bottom of the float bowl. Pull that plug and pump fresh fuel to the carb until just fuel comes out. Replace plug, pump primer bulb and try to start it.

I said " PUMP PRIMER BULB ", Not replace it. By plug I meant the one in the bottom of the carb bowl.
