when i was checking my air filter i looked back toward the engine and noticed some oil staining on the block its not enough to be leaking on the floor but its accumelated on the skid pan. if your looking at the motor from the air box side just left of where the shaft exits the motor hard to pin point where exactly its coming from looked at a crankcase diagram but its hard to see possible leak areas in the spot the leaks not bad but its driving crazy knowing its there....any ideas where this can be from

Theres a puddle on the floor cant pinpoint where the oils coming from but just did a change when installing slug kit the funny thing is oil is marking full. Did i overfill on oil?

Hmm...is it just residual from the oil change or is it consistent

Could just be from where the oil came out and was on the skid plate them dripped down. Happens to me almost every time I change oil.

 

[nemz305]

Not from oil change parked it at a buddies house and it leaked there. The day after oil was full so i went mudding in 4 ft of water should have washed off residual oil then parked it at home and under it again oil puddle size of a softball

Its also not coming from the wetclutch its more in the area of the dipstick

Pretty sure you have a cracked case. Get under the bike and look where the skid plate holes are by the oil drain plug. Viking cases have been cracking there because of four bolts coming loose in the motor.

Seriously how many cases i will check in the morning but dont think thats the case. Is this casing side facing the front of the machine?

Case on the dipstick side I believe. I hope it's not either but others I have seen have this reported same amounts of oil in the same spot. Case is about 700.00 I believe. Guys have been fixing it themselves. I heard there is a dispute with Yamaha over this.

Sheesh. Had to take the little one to school in the morning will be tearing apart the viking to get a good look at the entire case and find the leak. Im worried to much forum reading lmao

Warranty?

 

[nemz305]

I did purchase the 5 year extended warranty but would have to remove my clutching, cATVOS lift and all the other crap I have on there

 

[nemz305]

I'm going to have a good look at it today make sure I'm not cracked anywhere

 

[nemz305]

The crazy thing is that the oil level is fine if I were there to overfill where is the most likely place where it will be coming from

 

[KBoyd722]

it doesn't take much oil on the floor to look like a lot. you could still be reading full on the dipstick for a good while before you notice a difference.

There's a uv dye for finding leaks, not really sure about using it in a sxs tho
