monty9 Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 well my oil turned white so i furged it was the head gasket, i changed the head gasket; water pump gaket and the clutch cover gasket. i changed the oil and again it turned white, i mean like milk white. the quad still runs realy good, i have no clue why the oil is turning white, i know it is getting water in it to be doing this, but i have no clue where it is coming from. any help will be great annd thank you in advance Quote
holeshotkid Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 It's comming from one of two places. You say that you have changed the clutch cover gasket. Did you change the o-ring on the coolant tube when you changed this gasket? The second possibility is that the impellar seal on the water pump is leaking. From the way it sounds, this is most likely the cause of the leak. Quote
banshe98 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 yep, I just changed my oil and it is also milky white. I put new in and just checked it and this is milky white also. Not sure what I need to check to fix this and is it something that will hurt anything. Quote
Banchetta Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 Try flushing the motor out w/ diesel between changes. This will take all the white oil out thats still clinging to the part....New oil will change color just from the oil already in there...I put 2 quarts of diesel in there, start it for a second or two just to get the parts splashing, drain it completely, fill it up w/ new oil, MAKE sure it is full, shake the shee around from side to side to get the upper tranny coated, recheck the dip stick, start it, run it around the yard, recheck level.....It should take about 1.5 quarts of oil after a flush......

Rescuejeff Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 All the ideas are good so far, but you need to look at the clyinders themself, you could, lets hope not, have a crack in one or both and thats how your getting your fluid in there. Do what banchetta said but look to that area if your problem contunies. Quote
banshe98 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 ya, i'll try what banchetta said first because the oil is not as white as the first time i changed it. Its seems to be getting darker the more it is changed, so i'll do the flush first and hope that does the trick. thanks for the help Quote
Kg8 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 i bought a ktm 125 and it did the same thing latter found out that the jug had a crack in it. Quote

From the way it sounds, this is most likely the cause of the leak. i agree. this happened to me once the oil looks kinda foamy it was the seal by the impeller once i changed this it fixed the problem .if u ever took this seal out make sure u do with a socket and hit the socket . the seals are damaged easily .
