I have a 2000 yz 250 and the last two times I have changed my oil, which I do after every two rides, the oil is thin and has a greenish tint from the antifreeze more than likely. Where can the leak be coming from? It cant be the water pump oil seel because no antifreeze is coming out the weep hole which tells you when the seel is bad? So where should I be looking?

but if nothing is dripping from the weep hole, the water pump seals are not the problem right?

Is the level of antifreeze in your radiator dropping? If not, it may not be the problem. Antifreeze in your oil should make it white, not greenish.

Aren't the waterpump seals the only option? You may not be seeing it. I'd try new seals.
