Default 2003 Polaris 700 Sporstman

I have a problem with the cooling system. I have had my 4 wheeler in to three diff shops and have spent alot of money on this darn thing and still not working right. It is leaking water into the oil. I have had the water pump replaced and the seals done, the head gasket redone. It still leaks after alot of money put into it.
I was wondering if I could just eliminate the water cooling part and get a little big fan in front to blow on the engine if that would work. I am not too sure. I can't sell it to someone with this problem, that would bother me, I could trade it in on another but my money is very limited-I am retired. If anyone can help I sure would appreciate it alot, Thank you, Bob

Sorry,but an extra fan,etc won't help if it's still leaking coolant into the oil.Can't change a water cooled machine into an air cooled one. Either they didn't install a new oil seal behind the w/p seal or didn't do it right,the head or cylinder itself may be warped allowing coolant to enter into the oil. You can have the cooling system pressurized and see if you can find the problem area.A faulty head or base gasket would usually show coolant bubbles.May be as simple as that.
