I raced a full moto and came off the track. I then looked at my quad and saw some steam coming from the area near the coolant reserve. I checked it and it happened to be full of hot motor oil. I checked the oil in the engine and took the radiator cap off and didn't see any mixing. Tomorrow I'm actually draining the oil and radiator fluid but i was wondering what could be wrong. And the quad ran fine during the race and didn't lose power at all. I've been told it could be numerous things. A cracked head, piston/rings, base or head gaskets, mechanical ring/some type of gasket thats behind the water pump. Any suggestions?
