need help with 06 400 Auto 4X4
I have an 06 Arctic Cat 400 Auto 4X4 - and unfortunately, I tipped it over (not a violent rollover - just tipped on a steep hillside)
Now, there is oil dripping (slowly) from what appears to be a vent just over the exhaust pipe
Where is this oil coming from - and what do I do about it?
thanks in advance to all who take the time to respond

Open up your air box and check the bottom of the air box. There is a crankcase vent tube there that oil can run out of and into the air box if yuo don't keep the wheels down.
Then the oil will drail out a little duck bill tube inthe bottom of the air box. NOT a big deal just clenathe bottomof the air box out real well. Clean or replace the air filter if needed. Check your oil level and ride on. Assuming nothing major was broken inthe "mi-hap".

Not a problem, glad I could help.
Also, make a mental note that if you do a lot of running around at WOT (wide open throttle). Then oil can be sucked out that vent tube into the air box as well. It is easy to pop the top on the air box and check so I check it every other ride or so and clean it out when needed. I am amazed at how large a mess such a little amount of oil can make.
