my trans. fluid was milky white( like a vanilla milk shake) and I just changed the w/p oil seal and when I tested it without having the clutch cover on it tested good. no water at all. Last night I started it up for like 10 min and puttered around the yard, with fresh seal and fresh oil. Today, I noticed that the oil was slightly milky ( not nearly as bad as the first time) and I was wondering if it could be the seal leaking again, or if its just left over from the nasty mix from the first time? Help me guys , I can not afford to take it apart again and get another new clutch cover gasket or water pump cover gasket. Its a pain in the a$$. I'll see if I can out pics up. I need to know if its normal . Gotta race coming up this saturday!

Hello.
Yes, it could be the seal is still leaking or you could have residual goo left over.
When you pulled it apart and replaced the seal did you notice if the impeller shaft had any wear on it?
What year, make, and model is your bike?

twosmokerider116:
No it didnt have much. But it just seems too milky to be left over, Kx 500 86'

Could I have done it wrong?

One thing's for certain....it is NOT normal.In your other post "Coolant leak into cranckcase"...Jonny500 mentioned if you had possibly installed the seal wrong,and you answered "I think I put it in right".If you're not 100% certain you did,then this could be an issue.Jonny500 also asked "what was the condition of the shaft where the seal runs"....and you gave no answer.This is another thing that really needs to be inspected.You could put new seals in all day,but if the shaft is chewed up/grooved/corroded...it'll continue to leak.
I know it's not what you want to hear...but those are your starting points.
