Vacuum petcock failed or blocked open.
Carb float valve(s) got old and either stuck open, got a bit of dirt in there or sometimes they just wear out and fail.
Carb overfills, dumps fuel into intake port.
Open valves lets the crank case and exhaust system fill with fuel.
You will need to check the petcock. Clean or replace the float valves.
Drain the oil and change it and the filter.
Remove and drain the exhaust or let it sit long enough to evaporate but if it is full enough to drip out you might want to pull it so you don't start the bike with a load of fuel still in there.
