Why is there oil coming out of a hole in my cylinder head on 2002 Raptor 660?

Problem: Oil is coming out of a hole in the cylinder head of a 2002 Raptor 660.

Possible Causes:

1. Damaged Oil Filter O-Ring:

- Inspect the oil filter O-ring located where the cylinder head meets the bottom of an oil filter can for damage or improper seating resulting in an oil leak.

2. Damaged oil passage plug:**

- Inspect oil passage plugs for being stripped or not screwed in all the way. These can get hit when replacing engine covers etc.

3. Incorrect Cylinder Head Gasket/improperly tightened cylinder head:**

- Verify if proper head gasket was used by part number/dimensions when assembling and if correct torque specs were applied.
