The ski was parked level for about a year, we went to check it out and found
the cylinders full of oil. The tank was very low. It was stored
winterized, and the oil tank was full to the neck. Is this a common or not
? if not what has gone wrong ?

While it is not common, there was a service bulletin on the DI models where
check valves were installed in the oil lines to prevent this.

The oil pumps on the non di models had check valves in the oil pump which
should have held the oil back from entering the cylinders. It sounds like the
check valve failed in your oil pump. you can either buy a new oil pump or you
can install the check valves that the first year 2000 STX DI used as a fix
after they realized that the DI oil pumps didnt have check valves. The price is
probably about the same. It really only becomes a problem when you let them sit
for a while.
