Water pump?

[Chris Aumand]

I found oil I'm my coolant. I believe it's the water pump seals? Im trying to find a shop manual. I looked in the search section. But I can never seem to find what I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Look in the second gen tech library.

Have you drained the oil to make sure you are not getting coolant into the oil also. And have you seen any coolant on the floor or ground from the weep hole on the water pump, you may need to clean out the end of the small hose coming from the water pump sometimes they get plugged and wont let it drain out.

Here is a link to the service manual in the Tech Library, https://www.venturerider.org/forum/topic/63540-rsv-and-rstd-service-manuals/?do=getNewComment

Hey Chris,

There is an area between the "V" of the cylinders called the "Twinkie" where engine oil and coolant come VERY close together. This is where the engine oil is cooled by the coolant. If that "O"Ring has failed, then oil and water will mix together at this one point. Because of the design of this "heat exchanger" area, you will usually see oil in the coolant, NOT coolant in the oil. If you find no coolant in the oil, I would have a close look at the Twinkie, better yet change the "O"Ring for the Twinkie and see if the this solves the issue. Obviously it's not called a "Twinkie" in the repair manual,

But there is a section on the R/R of the "O"Ring in there. If you aren't seeing any coolant dripping from the weep hole of the water pump, you're looking in the wrong place.
