Coolant leak- Replacing Pump seal
Posted: Thu Oct 31, 2013 7:53 pm
After putting 100 miles on fresh oil, I checked it today and it was starting to resemble chocolate milk. Granted it was cheap oil put in to flush. The level was higher than it should have been which leads me to a coolant leak.. I don't have any steam comming out of the exhuast that i can see. So I am going to say water pump seal. the bike was sitting for 10 years so I think rubber would go out before the metal head gasket. I'm going to try to find a pressure test tool to test the system. I have changed the oli and filter, put some of the old oil in a ratio right to see if there is any coolant that seperates from the oil. Going to try to put some miles on tomorrow, cannot do it tonight due to no headlights(thanks boats plus!! ). How can i check the water pump seal?
