Long story short...

I am new to the DS650 family and now I have Coolant in my oil, and i'm trying to determine if i have bad seals in my water pump or bad head gasket. i haven't checked the weep hole (i think it may be plugged, i will check that tomorrow). Is there a way to rule out either the head gasket or water pump without major de-construction. any constructive feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!

 

a water pump seal is cheap. pull your plugs and see if it looks like your burning water. i would put my money on the head gasket. and would have the head surfaced while it was apart. and do a water pump seal, and new impeller while your at it. just to be safe.

 

ok, thanks for the input i will see what i can determine tomorrow, i plan to remove the water pump cover tomorrow and just do a visual to start.
