check around your sump pump cover.

is it still leaking coolant out of the weep hole?.....it can leak oil out of that hole also.

Where is the puddle forming in realization to the quad? Front, rear, etc?

It drips from the two holes in the rear bottom of the engine skid plate.
I am running Evans coolant which looks and feels a lot like oil, I am wondering if it is simply a coolant leak.
I ran it all day yesterday and it has a healthy coolant leak down the side of the motor.
This is the first time the quad has gotten dirty this year, thus I can really tell where it is leaking.
I am hoping to get the plastics off tomorrow and check the fluid levels, which ever one is low is the one leaking right!

Where exactly is the weap hole located?

Crawl under the quad and look up at the hose that goes in the back of the frame on the left side. Look for oil dripping on the inside of the left frame spar just above swingarm pivot. The tube that goes in the frame that the exhaust pipe nearly rests on has an O ring in it. My O ring got some grit on it. I don't know how it could of, but it did and leaked a huge puddle of oil over a couple of days. I took the hose off the frame. It's held on w/ a 10mm that holds a plate over the frame and the O ring is under that plate.. Clean the O ring and tighten the plate down. Problem solved..

Everything looks good thus far.
The only thing I have found is that the clamp on the hose at the start clutch cover had pinched the hosed causing a slight tear in the hose.
I took this hose off and have repaired.
Is this just a vent hose or is oil or anything else pumped through it?
When I took it off nothing drained out of it...

Yes its a vent hose.But a tear could leak oil out.

Derno, I never received that map of yours.
I have been running a blaze/speed map and added some flow to it.
Could you post your map?
