I'm getting a little water in my oil. 91 kdx200. Fresh topend with cometic headgasket. I'm not losing coolant, so I think it's puddle water. I don't leak any oil, so where can it get in? The rubber cap seems tight.

Yeah, I guess I'll order up the waterpump seal/gaskets and replace.

The oil seal around the clutch lever shaft leaks pretty easily as well. Make sure you order both oil seals for the water pump. If the shaft is at all grooved then you need to replace it along with the bearing.

Thanks, I was looking at the clutch lever shaft with suspicion as well. Is it much of a deal to change that seal?

Its not to big of a deal but once it starts leaking the shaft is generally grooved as well. You can get a bushing machined to take up the slop and keep it from leaking with a new seal.
