    oil splattering on right front fender!!

    Ok, this is not the 1st time i notcied this, i started up my quad after washing it, it started, let it idle warm, revved it up and i noticed what looked to be splatters of oil.... on the front right fender..... I revved it several times and i couldn't find where it was coming from, what do you guys think i should be looking for?

    And, after that, the quad wouldn't rev without dieing, then when it died it wouldn't start back up. It finally started after i turned the tank on reserve and pumped the throttel a while.....


    this quad......

    The only place I could think it would be getting to the right fender is on the oil filter cover. Maybe there's a chip in the cover and its splashing out?

    What about that breather hose that comes out of the valve cover? Maybe when you rev it up it's blowing that hose open and it's bowing the oil out the gap.? Idk

    Another thing to look at is the oil tank and oil tank lines. Those are up front on the frame and especially the one coming from the top could be blowing oil onto your fender. There is an oil filter in the bottom of the tank that you can check to be sure it is not clogged.
