Hey, I'm new to the forum, so hello out there. I have an '04 Honda Rancher, and just recently changed the oil for the summer. I got it a little full, and when I load it into my trailer, it seems to leak oil. If it's sitting flat it doesn't leak, but whenever inclined it leaks from the back of the engine. There is a hose that I can't tell if it's unhooked or maybe an overflow line? Does anyone out there know if there is any kind of overflow hose, or if overfilling the oil will cause a leak? Thanks!

 

Don't know but too much oil is not good.

 

If you have fluid leaking from a hose on the rear of the engine, it is a fuel overflow hose from the carberator

Normally when overfilled with oil, the Rancher will blow the extra oil into the airbox. There is a drain cover on the bottom side of the airbox. It is a clear cap little over an inch long. If it is missing oil could run out of the airbox.
