white sludgy oil

is there anywhere else oil can mix with coolant? water/oil pump? swapped headgasket out, still mixing somewhere. anyone have any ideas? bike runs good with new headgasket i.e. no signs of it being bad or head being warped. runs strong idles strong, coolant is still getting oil tho

waterpump seal. Get everything. Oil seal, mechanical seal, impeller, ect.

had a feeling. i had an 02 pump pulled off i just could see where or how it could mix. ill get everything but probably just the shaft seal?

And make sure your cap is working properly.

If the cap builds too much pressure it can cause some problems.

The oil pump and the water pump run off the same shaft, if the mechanical seal fails you get water in the oil.

dont be a etho and use a led flashlightuse a regular one HAHAHAHAHAH that was classic

[DoWheelies]

ya they are all the same thing oil/water pump.

i think it could be the cap too. after i did the HG i noticed leaks at coolant hoses that were very snug. not too tight as to cut the hose but tight enough to where they shouldnt be leaking ( so tight i was worried of slicing the hose to fix said leaks), at that same moment nothing would be going into the overflow.


would it be safe to say that if the cap was faulty the first seals to go would be in the oil/water pump?

No way of knowing what seal would fail first, you may even get lucky and just need to change the cap.

Enough pressure could cause coolant to bypass a good seal.

Get whats circled for sure & if it was me, i'd go ahead & replace the shaft & other o-ring

I would swear I remember a 3rd seal?

And it was a bitch getting the old mechanical seal out too.
