Oil dripping 2018 850’s?

ferniesnow said:

I went for my first ride and then pulled the pipe, suitcase, etc.. There was oil splattered all over the belly pan below the Y-pipe. As mentioned above, blowing out of the gasket between the pipe and the Y-pipe. Not a big deal and probably quite normal.

Seriously?.........You guys are ok with this and find this acceptable?........Really

I have an old 2003 FireCat that does this once in a while...it pizzez me off .......but its 15 years old! For you guys to have a brand new 2018 BRP splattering oil around the engine area and piddling on the floor is deeming it acceptable kinda shows how drunk you guys are on doo-tang...YIKES

I think there should be a better way to seal those puppies other than the donut they have been using for years. I guess I have grown used to it and some years have more oil than others. This just happens to be one of those years with too much oil (I don't have oil dripping out on the floor tho'). I can think of a lot of other things that would p*ss me off more.

Well we could start a "Problems with the 2018 G4" but we all know how that turned out with the 2017.
Lots of doolaid tears till it got pulled.
It did however consolidate issues to one thread.
Compared to last year dripping oil for a doo owner is minor.
Besides Daggy said it's OK, video may come out.
Likely go away after breakin. Just messy, at least has no $ impact.

Took the sled out the other day finally, only got to ride about 30 miles but the oil is still leaking. It is coming from the gasket on the Y pipe. Makes a mess all over the engine compartment. BRP should have a better way to make make this seal.

I have talked to the dealer twice about it and they keep saying it is from the factory over oiling during assembly. Don’t know how to get the dealer to believe.
