17 oil leak

[Jonathanpitzl]

Picked my 2017 a couple of weeks ago and noticed everytime I start it, it leaves a puddle of oil under it coming out of the ypipe. I know if has extra oil for the first 18 hours for break in but shouldn't that be a little excessive? Wondering if I should wait it out. I don't think my new expensive sled should be leaving oil puddles in my shop.

See this same post ever year. the exhaust "doughnut" seal they use needs a little run time to get seated in and no longer leak.

You have two options, take it all apart, clean everything and apply high temp rtv sealer around the sealing surface, put it back together and let it set over night.
option 2 is dont worry about it and it will stop leaking after the 1st or 2nd ride. Eric
