If it were my stove I would not run it until I found the leak
between the firebox/exhaust and the convection blower circuit
Maybe a leak in the heat exchanger!

Just to be clear are you saying that there are sparks flying out of the stove into the room? If that's the case then follow johneh's suggestion and shutdown the stove and do not use it until you can fix it.

If the top vent kit is loose at the bottom, where the exhaust is, it’s possible that the sparks or smoke is getting into the distribution blower and then coming out the front of the stove
SOLVED: The combustion blower in the back was not seated properly drawing occasional sparks(fly ash) into the distribution blower and out the front of the stove. Seating the blower correctly resolved the issue.
The two parts (fire box and the distribution blower) are totally separate, however, fly ash in the form of sparks get pushed out the exhaust. The exhaust had a small leak in the combustion blower seating, right behind the distribution blower so a few random sparks were sucked out the exhaust and into the distribution blower and out the front of the stove.
