check your oil vent lines! while washing i checked mine and it had been rubbing on the radiatior hose. It was split completly down the middle! the line is 20.00. Check them if u ride in deep water double cheack them!, Soule

 

The oil vent line goes to the airbox and has a slit in it from the factory. Is that the one you are talking about? A broken oil line would cause oil to go everywhere. I replaced my vent line with a new fuel hose to get rid of that slit. My machine is often in water and I know some can get in there.

 

its clearly from rubbin on the radiator hose

 

I noticed that they were rubbing as soon as I got my Atv I had never posted because I thought it was an isolated event apparently not , I used eletrical ties to seperate all my lines that were one on top of another works good it has been like that since new and still goin strong.

 

yep been there done that .

 

My old '01 500 4x4 did the same thing. I replaced the hose with some 1/4" push-on fuel line. I get it for free from work but it probably only costs about $3 to buy. Apparently this isn't an isolated problem like I thought it was.
