oil running out of muffler

Have a briggs and stratton 3.75 hp vertical shaft image that I had on the garage floor before mounting to a pressure washer. Because of the shaft it was titled at an angle. Which casued a good deal of gas/oil out of the muffler onto the garage floor. Smelled like gas but black like oil

Afterwards I put it on, and it blew a good deal of smoke, but then settled down and rans.

Does oil or gas coming out of the muffler like a describe indicative of a blown gasket or a valve or rin problem, or would having it sitting at an angle like this cause the fluids to run out.
