hey guys, so I was looking at the bottom of the bike the other day as its been getting run pretty hard with this winter with all the snow we have been getting and i noticed a tad bit of oil on the lowest part of the gasket (i think #10) on the crankcase on the right side of the atv.....

thoughts? I've been watching it oil is still at same level after many hours of running and all i have to wipe is a drip or 2 on it, most of the time it doesn't even accumulate enough to drip on the frame below it....

Thoughts? i assume the gasket is just a little leaky?

I'd just keep a check on it and replace the case gasket only if it gets worse on the leaking. Couple drops of oil isn't worth having to pull the flywheel and stator,pull the cover,install a new water pump seal and oil seal and case gasket. Especially if the oil level stays up. You might try to snug up the cover bolts and see if it helps.
