I started my sled for the first time this year.(90 mach1) And where it was sitting I seen oil and anti-freeze under the exhaust on the floor.I can see the oil because of the fogger but not the anti-freeze.It ran for about 10mins. and the anti-freeze was only a spot adout a inch round.Any ideas thanks http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Before you started it, did you see oil and antifreeze?

If yes, then could be leaking inside the sled and
dripping out where the exhaust exits.

If its there after you started it. Does it continue
while its running?

If yes, then head gasket or base gasket could be
leaking.

I didn't quite understand your explaination.
Sorry.

Did you take the cylinders off for any reason, or the head? *If so, chances are some antifreeze leaked down into the crank area. *Therefore, if you did not use paper towels to soak up the oil and antifreeze from the crank area or bottom end, it would go out the exhaust. * We need more information like Gunner says.
