I have a '99 500XC
I noticed some oil on the left side in front of where the muffler connects to the engine. It is running great, not noticing any performance issues.
I can feel the exhaust leaking out around the gasket where the Y pipe bolts to the engine.
Would this cause some oil to spray out in that area? If it is spraying oil out the exhaust is this running to rich?
Are the gaskets difficult to change?
It looks like you just take off the few bolts and replace it. Looks like I could do it without having to take off any muffler springs.
Is it that easy?
My only other thought is a head gasket, I am hoping it is not that.
Thanks for any help!
