2022 sportsman 570 leaking fluid

I just purchased a 2022 sportsman with 12.1 miles on it. All visual inspections looked fine at the sellers I trailered it home about 75 miles, tied down, no movement. I unloaded it into my garage in the dark. Went out to show to my dad, started it, moved it forward and reverse just to sho him the operations and shut it down. Hopped off and noticed a pretty good amount of red fluid under the unit. I will clean up to investigate the true location of the leak but I’m curious to know if there are any know issues I should be looking for? This is very disappointing as the unit is like brand new, 12 miles, c’mon. Any help would be appreciated. I’ll update when I know more. Thanks, Ryan

It's odd that you are seeing red fluid. Stock Polaris front & rear differential fluid is clear in color and the trans. oil is blue/purplish in color. I'm curious to know where you find the leak coming from. Let us know.

Well.. it's safe to say that unless princess RC6071 responds as to what was found, we will never know. Its just like how many licks does it really take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop.. we may never know because Mr. Owl could only get to three before biting into it.

The suspense of these things is making us grow older quicker I tell ya.

I think a Raccoon with kidney stones peed under it.
Or its the blood finally dripping off from all of the 5 year old China kids who made most of the parts on the machine!
