Is My Waterpump Seal Leaking? (KX65)

Hi Fellas,

I have noticed that the oil level window on my sons KX65 has a white fog to it after he runs the bike for awhile. After it sits, it goes away but I am wondering if this is indicative to a leaking waterpump seal?
I am going to drain the oil today and inspect it but it does look a little milky when viewed through the window.
He has also been having some clutch issues as of late so I am thinking it may be all adding up to the same issue.

I haven't done a waterpump seal on this bike before and was wondering if anyone could offer me some tips?

Cheers

Does it loose any antifreeze? If not, its probably just condensation. My boys KX 65 does it but theres no loss of coolant.

I have added coolant just once and it wasn't much but that is still too much considering it has no external leaks.
I am going to drain the oil and that should tell me.

buffsabs11 - It shouldn't be expensive at all. It will only be a seal that needs to be replaced. I have just never yanked the waterpump on these bikes and was curious about any "gotchas" that may happen. Outside of that, I am sure it is a piece of cake as long as you can wrench.
