The oil injector line running to the clutch side head is leaking a bit of oil, I have put about 4 gallons of oil through the sled so far this winter, and I'd estimate it has leaked about a teaspoon.
The clear plastic line is securely fastened to the metal elbow, I believe the leak is between the left end of the elbow and the head, and based on the dealer telling me they will probably replace the head I'm assuming that elbow is pressed into the head and is not serviceable....
Pic of the leak with a pick tool pointing to the leak after I cleaned it,
And pic without the pick tool before I cleaned it,
I cleaned it with carb cleaner and ride it around the neighborhood then checked it again and there was no new leakage, I'll be putting around a meadow this afternoon with a nOOb rider so I'll check again after that.
But, I'm not to stoked on replacing the head, thats a lot of nuts and bolts to come out, and with every one of them there is potential for it to go back incorrectly.
I love the idea of a warranty, but I also hate the idea of anyone but me wrenching on my machines....
At any rate, has anyone else dealt with this oil leak?
