I picked up an 07 450 Rhino with 3900 miles on the engine a few weeks ago. After buying it i noticed a strong smell of oil in the fully enclosed cab. Never having something fully enclosed, i was thinking it may be for that reason.
Looked up issues with this machine, and found puking oil into the airbox was a big problem, so i pulled mine. The air filter was in horrible condition, and there was a layer of oil at the bottom. I thought maybe i was testing its limits too much, pushing it a lil hard. Added some oil, and started to watch it. The next ride was on roads, not a trail and probably averaged about 30mph on it. The engine started losing power and dying. Checked the oil and it had some in it, added more at that point. Started again to see what would happen, and it died quickly again.
I towed it home and after being confused a lot, I’m still confused. I went to pull the plug, the silver one with notches around it is the oil plug/strainer/pipe correct? But noticed this missing in front of it. Poured oil in while looking, and it pours straight out this hole. What is in front of the drain plug, and why does oil pour straight out of it? Are there 2 separate drains?
