Having a small oil leak on my sled. Noticed it after the sleds been sitting in the trailer all summer. Anyone had an expirence with the same leak? The picture was taken after I cleaned it off. But I circled where it was dripping from. Thanks in advance for any help

Probly coming from the intake if I remember correctly if the oil tank is pretty full it will push through the oil pump into the intake boots

Awesome, thanks guys. Was afraid I'd have to tear the sled apart to fix the problem!

A word of caution

I just purchased a '12 proclimb. Had oil in the nose of the sled so pulled the hood to investigate. As is mentioned here it's just injection oil coming out the intake. But the oil caused the rubber gasket sealing the intake to the hood to swell and deform. Just thought I'd post it on here to help someone in the future.

When I started acknowledging my sled's existence about a month ago I had some oil leaking under the chaincase as well. I think it was just spilled injector oil that had slowly worked it's way off the oil tank over the summer. Only like a drop or two.

But yeah where yours is coming from that's just intake goo.

LMAO!!! I think mine is jealous all summer when we take the quads out. Uncovered mine yesterday and gave it some love for the first ride tomorrow.
