Oil leak when tipped vertical?

Recommended Posts

My banshee has always been a pain. I love it and hate it. I bought it for cheap it was a piece of junk and still is, although slightly less. It has a cracked case and all kinds of other issues (the case is fixed with JB weld). But recently I started leaking oil again for god knows why (I left the bike parked for 2 months and it wasn't leaking. Rode it once and it leaked out half its oil) anyways.... besides that... I tipped it up vertical to look at the JB weld job on the cracked case... and it started pissing oil out from a nipple on the back side of the case. Any ideas why? Any info helps.

That's the case breather, will always dump oil when bike is vertical. There should be a hose attached to that nipple to keep crap out of the engine. Put a new hose on there then when you lift vertical move that hose higher than the back half of engine.

That's odd because whenever I load my quad solo, I tip it vertical, roll it to my truck on the rear wheels, and drop the fronts onto the tail gate then lift the rears in. And I've never noticed it pissing oil before

It either had the vent tube and recently fell off or you were low on oil and recently changed your oil. If its full of oil and no vent tube it will dump oil every time you lift vertical.
