Okay maybe it's a problem. Got done trail riding yesterday and loaded the dale into my truck and noticed some oil had come out from the exhaust manifold. Anyone else ever see this. It wasn't a lot but I am hoping this isn't a major problem. I haven't had time to dig into it too deep, just had the dale stripped down so I can get at it. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should check. Any help would be awesome.

Shawn

Are you sure its not gas carbon mix?Is it coming out the exhaust outlet or by the headpipe/muffler connection?Is it clean oil or burned?It is very odd to see raw oil leak out didnt you notice huge cloud of blue smoke when running?That exhaust is real hot and should burn the oil.I suspect you have a oil leak that is traveling to your exhaust first one I would check is the one on left frame spar down by the exhaust.
Does anyone have an idea for getting that line away from exhaust I see the breadbox pipe is farther away but mine is almost touching the exhaust that probably is super heating the oil even with the covering.

It is coming right out exhaust flange. Like I said I haven't been able to look at it. It is a small amount and I didn't notice any smoke so i am thinking that it is a leak, and nothing serious, hopefully. I am taking it to the dealer today. I will keep you posted.
