My friend bought an 08 FX Nytro and on the bottom of the airbox there is a little nipple that has NOTHING attached to it and oil is coming out. My question is: should something be there (like a vaccum line) and if so, where does it go to, or is it a drain hole.
Any pic's would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that's just a drain hole? And the oil spitting out would probably be from someone previously filling the oil tank to full which causes oil to be puked out into the airbox!

Or tipping sled on its side can cause that if it does have a rollover protection valve.

Any aggressive riding will dump oil into the air box, normal and acts as Rust Proofing!!!!

That is the drain for the airbox.
Clean out the oil and wash your foam filter.
