big oil spots underneath my hisun 400utv

[trevor]

my hisun 400 has ben leaking oil out of a small metal tube on the bottom near the oil filter. Got the side by side given to me after been sitting for a couple years  but 2 quarts in nothing happened my buddy went and worked on it and put another quart in it. i thought it just pushed out what it didn't need. but its dry as a bone inside. does have a good clatter coming from the top end as well, with oil in it. looking for some help not much on the internet about these things.

Hey Trevor,

Do you have a picture so we can try to help figure out what it is?

Don't run it low on oil, it only holds like 2.5L so 2 low is more or less empty. Running it empty of oil may cause it to self destruct rapidly, which may explain the rattle.

Mine is doing the same thing! Why isn't their any info for these things online? Same story with me. Bought it for cheap from a family member that couldn't get it running. I got it running but oil was very low. I added oil and it leaks from a tube on the bottom of the engine near the filter.

Again,

Can you post a picture so we can guess what tube you are talking about?

I took a picture of it but I can't figure out how to post it here. I'm currently not home to take another one but it is dripping out of a steel nipple that points straight down near the oil filter under the driver's seat. It just drips slowly and after sitting for about three weeks in my barn it looks like at least a quart has dripped out.

there's a nipple under the oil filter that is the water pump weep hole. It shouldn't have oil coming out, you may get a tiny bit of coolant from time to time if the water pump seal is weeping. if theres a flow the water pump seal has failed and you'll need a new water pump.
