milky gear oil???

[zip]

About 10 rides ago I took a flyer into a river and the bike was totally submerged. Upon return I change out the tranny oil because I could see the milky white color through the view glass. I have changed the tranny oil about 10 times now, and still seem to be getting water in the gear box anyway. I change the oil, but after every couple of rides water seems to be getting in. When I look at the view glass shows that white color. Any suggestions on could be letting water in?

thanks

Just a guess, is the water pump seal OK, maybe you have a coolant leak entering into the transmission :ohmy:

I will give it a look. How about the seal where the clutch cable goes in?

Check, thats alot of oil changes to do and still have milky oil :think:

What is happening to your coolant level all this time? This is too long for water to be showing up in the oil. I think you were told correctly above water from the bike or the outside. You have to stop the leak--again the water pump shaft is the most probable place. Cheers John

I did notice on the last two rides coolant level dropped a hair but I would imagine it doesnt take much to foam up oil.

Thanks guys I will pull it off and let you know how i make out.

I had coolant in the oil on my kx125... Replaced the oil seal, 5 bucks, the water seal 3 bucks, and the water pump gasket, another couple bucks... I replaced the impeller, and the impeller shaft, also but I doubt it was actually nessassary...
