Hi all
I have a quick question I hope forum can help answer.
I have noticed when checking the oil that I have white gunge in the filler cap. Also the oil sight glass is white.
I thought water pump seal was dead, but it was only put in about 15000 miles ago.
I dumped oil out to see if any white gunge in oil but none. I checked expansion bottle and no oil in there.
One thing that has changed is since I started new job I only ride 3 miles to work. It sits all day and then ride back 3 miles. I know this is not ideal as it never gets warm enough.
I looked in where put oil in and can see white gunge on engine case.
I have not had any leaks from water pump area as other posts have suggested.
It this just too short journey and condensation. I did use a hairdryer on sight glass yesterday so I could see where oil was. It is back again today but not so thick.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The oil has only been in bike for 1000 miles and I plan to change it again in few weeks in spring. It is running mineral 10w 40 rock oil.
