Hey eveyone, first time posting here and looking for some help: I am a complete newb when it comes to off road vehicles, and I recently purchased a used 2010 RZR S 800. I did some riding with it recently and noticed this morning some liquid spots on the floor of my garage below the passenger side, just in front of the rear passenger tire. The color seems to be light purplish, and can see it slowly dripping off the skid plate.
Once I removed the seats and the plastic panel covering the engine, I cannot seem to see where the leak is exactly coming from.
The engine oil is topped up and the owner said that before he sold it to me, it had the oil changed as well as filter.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks a million!

I have a sneakin' hunch that, when he changed the oil filter, he let a bunch of oil run-down onto the skid-plate and its now, slowly, but surely, finding its way to your garage-floor. My best guess.........

Cheers

Iirr, purple Polaris oil is tranny/transfer case oil...

Might want to check all fill/drain plugs on tranny/transfer case for tightness/leaks. There are 5 of them, 2 fills, 2 drains, 1 level check plug. Look in manual for there locations

True enough, if it IS "purple Polaris oil" and not that aftermarket synthetic; what's it called, Royal Purple? Just an observation........

Wow, thanks for the quick responses guys, I will definitely look over the service manual and try what you mentioned allcool.
BarRZR, it would sure be nice if that's all that the problem was! I will keep you guys updated when I get a chance to work on it. Going to work in a litte bit, but at least I can read over the service manual, and work on it tomorrow morning.
Thanks again!!

 

If it turns out that it does have a purplish motor oil in it - I would check the oil filter is tight enough, then I would check the 'O' ring at the base of the dipstick.

 

or you could just remove the skid plate and see if you can find the exact source.

Hopefully its the filter and not over torque'd drain plugs that are stripped now
