I went ridding this past weekend and after i finished the ride i noticed oil at the bottom of my air box what can this be from and is it a easy fix need help thank for any info that you can offer........ ps its a 2003 sportsman 600 twin

 

Nothing to fix,it gathers from tipping over and even from steep hill climbs and descents. There is even a tube with a red T plug to drain it if you look under the air box. It happens.

 

how much oil, a couple of drops or alot. also too much crank pressure will push out oil as well. just a thought.

 

thanks you guys eazied my mind, all the things you said with the step inclines and declienes are exactly what was riding that day

thank you very much, you guys rock.

 

what can i do to relief the crank pressure or can i even do that?, it was enough to notice, but not a huge amount of oil, any other sugestion????? i thought maybe blow -bi's or engine may be going bad, but i hope not, it dosent smoke or leak in other places. any info helps out a bunch.. thakns for your help.

 

A lot of the time, if the oil level is too high, crankcase pressure blows a little oil out of the breather and into the airbox.
