Well I just got my 850 XP back from the dealer after getting new axles put in and the ball joint recall, I took it out for a 20 mile ride, and now the engine is covered in oil...mostly on the throttle side of the engine. There is a little oil residue on the Break lever side as well, which leads me to believe its leaking from the top of the engine...

Anyone have any ideas?

 

If I had to guess I'd say they did the crankcase breather recall as well and possbly the breather hose wasn't attached securely and blew off or the breather is loose or something similar...in any case if they did the breather recall that would be where I would look first...pull the seat the breather is on top of the valve cover.

 

Thanks man, great cutout as well!, I'll be sure to check it out when I get a chance...
