that sure looks like water in your oil....

Did your machine freeze? does it have antifreeze in it?

Check your oil dip stick and see if thats where its comming from. Water+oil = gray milk. Water cause the oil level to rise and the excess blows out of the crank case vent hose. Should be more in the air box also.

Deep water crossing,the crank vent hose goes to the air box,if the air box gets water into it the water will work its way down the vent tube into the engine oil.
