That looks like water. Have you been in deep water? Made sucked in your vent tube. Check your vent tube and make sure it didn't come off.

I actually just bought this a few weeks ago haven’t touched water myself I just changed the fluids so I am curious about these vent tubes can someone tell me more and i hear that there is a kit to better locate them is this true if so dose anybody no where I can get it?

I got the vent kit off eBay. Easy job. Didn’t take long and no more worries about water getting in. There is someone here on the forum that sells the kit. @Bayouownbeer i believe.

I was just looking at super atv looks like the depth finder snorkel kit comes with new longer vent lines as well anybody used that

Yes, a Ross sells the vent kit here. I bought one from him just about a month ago. Something like $30.

Is it any different then what comes with the snorkel kit?

Don't know, never looked at that one but all it is is extension hoses with the correct couplers and instructions. Not worth drive to the auto parts store to put together with cost of fuel.

I'm a little concerned that you bought a used machine with water in the subtrans. It's possible the entire thing was submarined.

There are threads on that here, you should read all you can and make sure you make all of the checks the guys in the know recommend.

So yeah, a '21 with less than 1000 miles and you're the second owner? Did you buy it from a private seller or a dealership?

This is what I know so far he did not have a snorkel on it but that being said the engine oil had no water in it and the neither filter had that milky oil in it I do think he may have gotten it above the seats though I think he may have some how got water into the vent line going to sub trans I have changed the fluid and am going to run it for a few days see how it dose then check fluids again and flush again if nessesarry at this point it’s a done deal so worst case imma have to learn how to rebuild a trans or replace it I’m new to the sxs game I didn’t no what to look for I just trusted that my friend when he said it was a good deal I guess you can say I learn the hard way on everything lol 😂 also I just ordered the depth finder snorkel kit from super atv which has the new vent lines so excited about that I’ll post pics of the install when it comes in

 

[P1K5Dave]

I'm no expert on sunk machines (a few guys on here are, to be sure) but looking at your pic, that's not a little bit of water getting into your subtrans, that's a full sink. I don't know how you can get to there without taking water into the motor.

Are you 100% sure there wasn't any water in the oil change you did? From what I've seen around here, guys do 3-4 oil changes to clean it out.

I'd also be going thru all the steps to assure there's no water in your fuel.

Sorry, not trying to scare you or bust your balls, I just dont want to see you get hosed.

Is that all the oil that came out of your subtrans?

 

[CID]

Have a look at your air filter and air box for signs of water.

Mine comes with black tubing that blends well with the cage it extends all 6 oem vents to the roof line. Most snorkel kits come with the clear tubing. It comes with everything you need and instructions with pics. Send me PM for $35 purchase price.
