Came out to Uwharrie this weekend. We got a good 4 hour riding yesterday with no issues.
About an hour in today in some SLOPPY red clay mud (it rained a good part of the morning) I noticed that the normal clacking noise on the right side (08 sportsman 800) seemed to be getting louder.
Then it sounded like the exhaust was getting loud.
I shut it off and the oil was pouring out the bottom of the machine.
I know I didn’t hit anything hard and the skid plates were in place anyway.
Got pulled back to the parking area, about a mile up the damn mountain… did I mention SLOPPY red mud?

Finally got it up on the trailer and get to looking and damn drain plug is missing.
I changed the oil when I got it last year and didn’t have 10 hours on the oil, but it’s not like I changed it yesterday either.
I just hope to God I didn’t destroy my motor.
