2001 350 Warrior dripping oil

1GATORFAN · 09-14-2011, 02:16 AM

Hey all new here, just bought me a used Warrior that is in really good condition and has rode fine. Had it for about 3-4 days and noticed a about 2 days after I got it I came in the garage in the morning and noticed a very small puddle of oil. Maybe a inch wide and takes all night it seems just for it to drip that much out. It looks likes it is coming from the front side of the engine and oil comes down from there and drips off the front/bottom side.

I'm by no mean to good at these things so I'm not real sure what it is. But I guess it didn't have much oil in it to begin with because it has none in it now and I can't ride it. Needed to change the oil anyway but didn't want to yet if it was just gonna slowly drip out.. Hope its not a big problem. But thanks for any help guys

Most likely a bad seal between the cases. Not a big deal but a pain in the ass to fix. Maybe drain all the oil and put some gasket sealer where its leaking. Thay may work.

Thanks, any easy way I can find where the leak is coming from? The leak is so slow that you really cant even tell where it is coming from

I would say wipe the oil off the motor and wiat for it to show up. a droplet must form before it drips.

Here some pics of where I think it is coming from there is a droplet that builds to... Thanks for your help

First photo is just a general area of where pic #2 is taken

This is where the highest drip form is coming from

And this pic is under the warrior north of the drain plug you can see the drip forming but idk if it forms from the top drip coming down

Hmmmm. its had to tell where its comming from. You are missing a bolt in the the first pic.

Ya I know didnt know if that bolt needed to be there.. If so I'll have to get one

That could be where the oil is comming from.

Could be dosent seem like the oil forms a drip there but it does look like it has oil on it so maybe it leaks down and forms the drip on the lower bolt.. Guess I'll have to find a bolt that fits it. I appreciate your help man

Edit:Found out where I'm pretty positive the leak is but not sure what I could do to fix it or what the location is called.
