Here lately I've been noticing that after a ride there is oil under my engine on the skid plate. It doesn't show that I am loosing much if any oil and am wondering if this is just normal or if there is a problem? I change my oil often with the oil change kits from my polaris dealer and change the washers or what ever they are called that come with it. Could the oil be coming from my oil plug or could it be a gasket inside the engine? Thanks for any input in advance!

 

I had a bad oil line on my 05..the oil line had a bad crimp in the ferrule..it got replaced.get the motor running and check you oil lines.

 

My '05 had a loose oil line when I got home. I found the same thing, oil on the skid. Just run the bike at idle with everything clean and you should see where it is coming from.

 

My 03 had a leak at the flang where it bolts to the motor. The dealer trimmed the oil line from the oil tank to the rear flange and reseated the flange to the engine. This stopped the leaking. Too long of a hose puts an outward pressure on the side of the flange without the screw. Make sure to not overtighten the flange bolt as it is soft aluminum and can warp the seal.

 

Thanks for the input. I will check it a little closer and see if I can find where its coming from.
