Milky Oil?

My gearbox oil is looking quite milky, i use transmission fluid which is a translucent red colour, but at the moment it looks like strawbery milkshake?! The oil is around 10 riding hours old and was changed at the same time as my mates, which dosnt look like milkshake. I changed my engine case (water pump side) at the same time as putting the new oil in so am wondering if maybe coolant is getting mixed with the oil somehow? All new parts and seals were used at the time.

SOunds like the seal has gone on the water pump shaft. Or if new parts are they fitted 100%

Hmmm, well i'm an engineer so was quite confident, but..... i'd not done it before so i don't know. Is this the seal that i can get to quite easily by removing the water pump cover? Or am i going to have to remove the entire engine casing again?

Do you have coolant loss, or potential water entry?

Allthat has to come from somewhere you know? :blink:

And even with a new case? Well you know what they say, new does not guarantee good!

Sounds like some close inspection is due,what it the history? :)
