Somethings a miss, ride easy and take a look inside, my just be sealsJust got looking at my machine and making sure things were ok for a ride this weekend and came across this. Not dripping on the skid plate or anything but it looks like there's quite a bit of oil around it and on the engine. Front kinda looks the same but not as bad. Thoughts or suggestions?

Maybe the oil level got low, diffs don't hold a lot of oilWeird thing with mine...the rear had a small line of oil from the shaft down for a few rides...then stopped!! Not sure why and told one of my friends (who works at an ATV shop as a mechanic) who saw the original leak, and said it couldn't stop...don't know what to tell ya but mine did-LOL Mine wasn't that bad though
Make sure there's no vent lines stopped up.Just got looking at my machine and making sure things were ok for a ride this weekend and came across this.

That was my first thought. Checked and all good.Make sure there's no vent lines stopped up.
Very nice rig. Your Aluma trailer, I have the same one and love it, mine is the 6310 (5' x 10'). So much lighter than steel, I can lift the tongue with one finger and they are so much easier to move around by hand. For hauling 2 machines up to my mountain cabin, I also have an 18 ft. Aluma, they are more expensive but so worth it.
I actually borrowed this trailer from a friend. Definitely gonna get one though. There is nothing to the trailer at all. Nice and light pulls so easy. Way easier then loading the damn machine in the back of the truck.Very nice rig. Your Aluma trailer, I have the same one and love it, mine is the 6310 (5' x 10').

Thanks for the reply. Tip if you do get that Aluma trailer... In the back of the trailer there is a license plate mount with LED plate light but it's low and close to the ground, putting the plate there makes it that when you pick up the trailer to move around, the plate will scrape the ground. Or when driving with the trailer off road, it doesn't take much of a dip for the rear to scrape the ground and bend the plate. I told my Aluma dealer about the rear plate location problem and he told me here in AZ you can get a smaller ATV size plate but you have to ask for it, but that was after I had my full size plate. In your state if you can get a smaller ATV size plate, then that would help. I ended up putting my plate sideways on the left fender and extended the wires for a new LED light over the plate. I never liked the idea of loading in back of a truck, would get old real fast and a bit dangerous using ramps.I actually borrowed this trailer from a friend. Definitely gonna get one though.

I had skids welded to the back corners of my trailer, works great!Very nice rig. Your Aluma trailer, I have the same one and love it, mine is the 6310 (5' x 10').

Now that's a smart thing to do, sounds good.I had skids welded to the back corners of my trailer, works great!
Maybe that's all it is but it's at the shop getting looked at now. I know my old one never did this. Hopefully nothing but getting it checked out just in case. Should hear something from them today hopefully.Very well could be the seal, ive had a couple atvs do that. But it could also be the grease Honda uses ro assemble these at the factory. Once it gets warm it runs everywhere, and once grease or oil gets on aluminum engines, you could wash it a hundred times and stuff still sticks where ever the oil was.
