jetlag Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I have not long acquired a 94 Techno 250, the clutch was acting up and not releasing, So I decided to fit a new clutch pack. When I drained the old oil, it has a very pink colour. I know that water in oil will make it milky, is there a brand of oil out there that acts this way with water or is it a colour of some brand of oil? I guess that if it is water, then the water pump seal would be leaking? Any ideas would be appreciated! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water pump seal will prob be the solution or you may have alot of corrosion inside the casing which can get so bad it eats its way completelly through!!!

penno350 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 At a guess it's probably Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) rather than standard engine oil which a lot of riders use and is red in colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 It'll be ATF for sure, I use it and had no problems. Find it better than anything else I've tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
