Saw this today when doing maintenance on unifilter.  I last rode this off road on Saturday and into some mud, power washed when I got home and it's been sitting in the garage since.  Is this seeping from the head gasket, and what is the best course of action?  Dealer is 1.5hr away and would prefer not to have to send it back if it's just something I should keep an eye on.  2021 zforce 500 with 236 miles on it, bought new in March.
Thanks guys.

Looks like cylinder base gasket area. I'd clean it off and make sure there isn't a crack. I'm not familiar with the 500, sorry.

Here it is cleaned off.  I don't see any crack I guess I could drive it around the subdivision and see if it comes back.  Yeah base gasket, my mistake.

In my opinion I would send it back.  My thoughts are use the warranty as long as you can especially with something like this as it could very well get worse and fail once your warranty is up.

Thanks for the reply.  I might see if the bolts are loose and tighten to spec if they are and if I see any more take it in.  I have a camp trip next week I have planned with the sxs so hoping I can still make that.  I wiped it off and drove it around the neighborhood and no apparant issues....yet.  It does worry me being that base gasket.
