Looks as if oil is seeping out of the head gasket, only one small area on the right side( if sitting on the quad) towards the front... i keep wiping it clean and it seems to be coming from somehwere right above the head gasket too. Near the smal screw that holds a bracket that hold a wire or line of some sort. Its an 04 with about 25 hours on it.

Any ideas ?
Replace the head gasket?
WHich head gasket to use?
TIA

bump...anyone?

 

I would try torquing the head bolts down first. Same thing happened to a friend of mine, oil was coming out all over the front of the engine. I tightened the head bolts (some were quite loose) and its been fine since.
