Why is my 98 arctic cat zl 500 pouring oil out of the bottom of the sled?

I just bought the sled for a good price but knew something had to be wrong with it. I got it home drained water from gas tank, lines, and carbs added new gas and it fired right up. Now i notice that the oil is just pouring out of the bottom of the sled somewhere.|||There is an oil line that comes out of the bottom of the reservoir. If the sled is leaking oil when it isn't running, the line is most likely loose or damaged somewhere along its route.


I have had this problem before on a Polaris.





If it happens only after being run, it could be the line, the seals, or a cracked block.





Make sure that it isn't actually your chain case that is leaking oil.





Is your exhaust sealed? Slight oil leakage can come from here on a 2 stoke.|||because it is broken........and since u didn't provide any useful details.....then i would guess that a seal is bad or the motor is cracked.......and ur "good price" isn't so good since u will need to buy a new motor at least.....
