wat would cause water in the oil..or make the oil turn greish color after u go muddin?? is it because of that breather tube on the bottom end of the engine?? if so how do i make it so it doesnt happen agaion cause me and a few friends went muddin and it did it to my 3 wheeler and his BIG RED! i was thinkin it was that little alititude breather on the bottom end of the engine...is it? i know his big red has no probs with seals and my 185 doesnt either cause its got new seals all around...someone help plz :confused:

Maybe water got up the case venting tubes just a guess. This is interesting because i sunk my old 185 in a river and it has never ever got water in the oil. My other guess would be a bad gasket or a you oil fill plug has a bad seal maybe. Just a guess i know you said it had all new seals but you never know.

try going slow through creeks and know when you are going somewhere too serious for your equipment.
