    So I just picked up a rekluse from a fellow member and rushed home to put it in. I removed my clutch cover and to my surprise I found what looks like gray paint where my oil should be. Googled the situation and also asked a fellow member to see if this is normal. Coolant level was low so I'm thinking that's the cause. Member told me that it's a common issue for the water pump impeller seal to leak. What coolant it had in it is oil free. My question is while I have this apart should I replace anything else that's a common issue? I want the bike to be 110% when I take it out next.

    Also if anyone had any gaskets for this situation I'd be more then happy to pick them up off you.
    Looks like I would need :
    Impeller seal
    Impeller o ring
    Impeller spacer
    Engine case gasket
    Clutch cover gasket


    Thanks for the help in advance guys! Pics to come soon

    That's water or coolant in the Oil, I had the same problem... Thought that the problem was the impeller seal but as it seems it was not, the little plastic 'L' from the crankcase breather hose was.. I sealed it well with some joint-former and now I have much less moisture in, still a little milky, I think I need to re-route that breather hose as I sometimes cross rivers above that plastic 'L' and moisture could get in.. I plan to route that hose over to the gas tank or something like that...

    Regards.

    WRs will do that if you cross peg deep water with a warm engine. the water rapidly cools the engine cases and the trans vent will suck creek water using the vent hose like a straw. You can reroute the vent hose to a higher location to avoid this. If you're not losing radiator fluid then change the oil and don't worry about it.
