a couple days ago when i was riding, i stopped because i noticed my quad was smoking...i then shut it off, and a friend pointed out that it was leaking oil all over the engine and my pipe...so i loaded it up in the truck and got it home and took the plastics and gas tank off to see if i could spot the problem, the oil appeared to be coming out out of a vent hose that was attached to a 3 way valve by the air box under the seat by the rear-bottom side of the gas tank...the ride was the first after an oil change so i checked that everything was tight and not leaking from there and it was all good, but i do remember filling the tranny side up a bit too much so my question is did it come out of this hose normal like an overful vent hose type deal or should i go take it to the dealership as i still do have warrenty?

thanks

sorry for the lengthy post as well

?, Did you check your tranny oil level (as per owner's manual instructions)?
