I am getting water in my crankcase on my banshee. I figured it was probably the head gasket but could it be any thing else? Thanks

 

If i remember right there are a few other different places that water could get throught, the clutch cover has that water piped to it, its only sealed there with an o ring, I may be wrong but there could be other ways for it to get in, I would think if it was a headgasket wouldnt it make it run bad? Or not at all?


Ryan-

 

Probablly the water pump seal. What year bike is it? Does it have a lot of ride time? Are you sure it isn't just a little bit leaking around the dipstick from rain, creeks, etc?

 

The bike is an 87 but the motor was rebuilt before I bought it. I have not actually rode the bike that much since I've had it, but this past winter I put on new top and bottom engine cases and not too long after I put it back together I started to notice some water and anitfreeze in my crankcase. I was just wondering where all water could get in, I have a new head gasket on the way. Thanks again

 

besides the head gasket do the seals and gasket for the water pump ***. and O-ring on water tube
