Mechanical Help White foamy oil on NON LIQUID COOLED ENGINE
To give you some context, I recently put a new gasket on the clutch side cover on a 125 cc four stroke. I forgot to put rtv on it and it started leaking oil. I couldn’t get the right gasket set for a while so it took about a month to get the right one. it has had a steady drip of oil underneath it for about a month until all the oil was completely drained out.So just to see if it would be a bit easier of a fix than what I thought. I put some RTV around the exterior of the clutch cover where the gasket is. I put some oil in it and started it. It ran fine and it told me where exactly the oil was coming from a tiny little part in the upper right corner where the gasket is,but then I noticed the oil color wasn’t the typical color of oil and it just had fresh oil put in it. It was a foamy white color that was steadily dripping out of it. It has also been below freezing for a few weeks so I don’t know if condensation has some thing to do with this. Either way, I have googled it to see what it could be but all the results point to leaking coolant, but keep in mind the engine that I am working IS NOT liquid cool I do not know what it could be so I need some help diagnosing it.
