Coolant leak?

[formula1]

I have been having problems wtih my banshee only running on one cylinder. It was blowing white exhaust out of the cylinder not running. Took the head off and the left cylinder. The base basket was a little wet. I think the coolant plug on the exhaust side could be leaking maybe?? I also noticed that there was like small slimy white chunks stuck on the lower end what could that be. But I really didn't notice any coolant anywhere except on the base gasket which is only a few days old. Any help on what to do. Thanks again.

Slimy white chunks are what you get when water mixes with some oils. Did you use factory base gaskets that have the silicone bead on them. If you did not then you just spent the money you saved by getting cheap aftermarket gaskets. It just about has to be either the head gasket or the plug on the bottom of the cylinder, that is the only way for coolant to get in the cylinder.

Yep I used the cheapo gasket set, haha, guess I'll have to get the better kind. I could you show me where to get the factory gaskets at I cant seem to find any. Also how about the coolant plug I looked at a few sponsors but no luck.

Another bump if somebody could point me in the right direction so I can get them ordered.

factory gaskets would be at a yamaha dealer, but that may not be your problem, or only one. which cylinder is smokin? you may have a crank seal leak on the right side and tranny oil would be burning up causing it to smoke and stink like crazy. if not then its prolly just a blown head gaseket, i would use some 3-bond or yamma-bond liquid gasket for some extra security

It is the left clyinder If your sitting on it looking forward. I guess I'll call the local yamaha dealer tommarrow and see if I can get the gaskets and a new coolant plug. One other thing when I re drained the coolant, from the drain plugs on the side of the cylinder it was just dribbling out alittle bit. But when I took off the bypass hose on the top of the head it was really pressuriesd and was spraying out from there, is that normal?
