i have an 06 yfz450 and every so often ill check the hose from starter gear it will be white greasy oily stuff in the line and in the breather box beside the air box on the frame where that line conects too
butt i always drain my oil in the base and it be pitch black with out a hint of water in it
always just seems like its just in that line
really nervous on this but not loosing any antifreeze
just got the motor built at the dealer from crank up replaced water pump shaft and seals
what would cause this?
