i have anti freeze in my oil. its an 07 fourtrax rancher 4x4 ES. i did a search and they said its either my head gasket or water pump seal/ring/gasket, not sure. i have the head gasket order but i some how have a problem with the water pump parts. the guys at my local honda dealer don't know what parts i need and neither do i. can anybody help

 

On most engines there is a weep hole between the oil seal on the bearing end of the shaft and the coolant seal on the impeller side of the shaft, so if a seal fails the coolant (or oil) would dribble out the weep hole and not past the other seal to contaminate the oil.

I would think the head gasket is the more likely source.
