milky oil

(1/3) > >>

gwcrim:
Seems like every time I ride the beast, the tranny oil turns milky.  The antifreeze level never seems to go down, so it appears that it's not leaking out that way.  But even a short ride of less than an hour no where near water creates the problem.

Any ideas?

John:
Power jet wash?

NastyNick:
it doesn't take much coolant to turn your gear oil into a milkshake.  Probably the seal around the impeller.  Its pretty easy and resonably cheap to fix.

gwcrim:
Not even the jet washer.  I'm thinking that there's a teeny tiny leak around the impeller too.  But the coolant level is OK for over a year.  Goofy......
