P500 P520 Oil Leak

[Bad Company]

Anyone else got a oil leak on their P520? I kept smelling oil from time to time, not out of exhaust but like oil running down on a hot engine or something. I did my 600 mile service yesterday. I pressure washed the machine real good before doing the service. While doing the service, I was looking for an oil leak. I finally found it, it's directly under the air box. It's where a wiring harness comes out of the side cover of the engine. I think it's the rubber grommet around the wires seeping some oil. I guess I'll be taking it to the dealer to get it fixed. It wasn't low on oil, but was below full on the dipstick. I'm afraid if I don't take it in, it'll only get worse.

Pics of the leak?

I don't have any pics, it's in a hard to see spot. I will try to get some tomorrow. I could remove the air box and see it much better.

Cool! Try and do that. Might be something easy stupid to fix we can help you with so u don't have to go through the dealer hassle.
why we like pics. They say a thousand words

I'm pretty sure it's coming from where I circled.

Ouch.
That spot is common on some of atv's to leak. Usually not quite this bad in such a short time.

I'd defiantly speak to the dealer about it. Looks like the stator output. Which is not too bad of a job.

The guy who applies the Hondabond was off the day yours was made. Lol.

I told my son that it must've been built on Friday. I'm just curious if anyone else is having this problem...

Yep. Common like @hondersxs said.

My 700 leaked a smidge there as well. Enough to stick dirt. I took some good rtv and went around sort of filling the gaps under the edge under the lips of the grommet and got it stopped without pulling the stator/flywheel cover. Mine was not nearly as bad as yours, though.

Is that a Chrysler motor in those pics?? 😀

If you had a older 500. This is what I would suggest as well.

But your is under warranty.

futzin, no it isn't. But you're very close, it's an AMC Eagle engine. Had one of those once. At the service station you'd fill'er up with oil and check the gas... lol
