I read the other milky oil posts but I still want to post a new topic just in case somebody can give me a specific answer that fits these circumstances. Also, I'm not very mechanically inclined but I'm very willing to learn so please bear with me.
I have a 2004 KX-250F. I bought it about 1.5 months ago. I love the bike. I think I'm addicted to dirt bikes because I'm getting a 2006 KX-250 tomorrow. Gotta have a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke hehe. Anyhow, so I changed my oil. I followed the service manual step by step. I replaced all the gaskets on the oil drain plugs and the one gasket for one of the nuts on for the water pump cover. The only gasket I didn't replace was the water pump cover gasket, that big number six shaped plastic ring. I checked it for cracks but it looked fine. So, I drained the oil and the coolant. I replaced the oil filter and applied a bit of multipurpose grease on the grommel as instructed. I put everything back. Then I added the oil to mid level on that oil peephole hehe. Then I added coolant and air bleeded it all out. It ran great for two days. Then I noticed that the oil, when looking through the oil peephole, turned all black. Seems like it was dirty again. I rode it once more and while it was on, I looked through the oil peephole and the oil was all bubbly. Once it settled and cooled, it was all milky. Then a few minutes later the oil peephole became foggy and I couldnt' see anything. Also, when I touch the oil peephole it's kinda cold. So I'm pretty sure the coolant mixed with my oil. Do you guys think that it's probably my water pump cover gasket, that big plastic number six shaped ring? Is that the same thing as a water pump seal?
