So it seems like every time I go mud bogging my engine seems to want to cut off after a couple passes through fender high mud. I want to know why this happens and I do have a slow oil leak out of the oil filter area but idk if this has anything to do with it.

Fender high mud? You mean water? Sounds like you're sucking in a little bit of water. A minor oil leak wouldn't cause your engine to bog down.

If you have the stock air box take a look where the intake is......
If you wanna run in deep mud/water start looking for a snorkle.

Search ' oil filter adaptor o-rings ' it's not related to your stalling but pretty easy repair.
