Default Crank case is leaking?

The crank case on my warrior is slowly leaking a little oil while sitting in the garage....Someone said i should re-torque the bolts, will this do it or does it need a gasket? I am planning on doing a oil change soon, what is recomended for this? thanks........

Its all stock and the motor has never been open. It doesnt leak alot but its moist near the drain plug and the seam of the motor. I have noticed the oil level slowly dropping.

If it is leaking around the drain plug maybe it isn't tight. BUT do not over tighten it, trust me it can easily be done. If there is an o-ring there you might try replacing it. Other than that I don't know. I doubt that your cases started leaking, but I guess anything is possible.

probably the crush washer beneath the drain bolt...
clean the underside well...run the quad and let it sit and see if you can track it down

Check to make sure you stock skid "bar" isnt pushed up into the motor. I have seen alot start to wear through the cases including mine which leaked a little between rides. .
