2010 M8 oil issue

[Stantheman]

I started my sled up a few times over the past few months and noticed that a few days after I started it I would see a few drops of oil on my garage floor, 10-15 drops or so.

Upon further investigation today while adding a belly pan I got at the sled show I noticed that the oil was comming from behind the air silencer assembly. When I removed the air silencer assembly I could see some oil had pooled up in the boot that runs from the Throttle Body to the Air Silencer.

Should I be concerned or is this normal will a mountain sled idling at low elevation, this being my first mountain sled.

Thanks

It just never got warm enough to get rid of the oil it injected on cold start up. Don't worry about it. It'll be fine.

I noticed a similiar issue on my 07 M8 last spring and later found pin holes on the welded seam of the stock pipe. TIG weld fixed it up.
