P1000 Water again what am I not seeing?

[Bigmanlittlebuggy]

So today I finally had time to clean up and inspect from last Saturday ride and first thing I did was check the sub trans for water expecting it to be fine since I bought the snorkel kit and extended all the vent lines but wouldn’t you know it milky fluid on the dip stick again I’m not sure what else I can do I’m obviously missing something any help is appreciated

Must be a seal or gasket leaking.

I agree hard part is figuring out which one

It could be residual moisture from the first drowning if you didn't change the oil a couple of times, that's where I'd start. Our engines get hot enough to burn off a lot of moisture but the sub trans doesn't get as hot.

And engines have crankcase ventilation, the sub trans has one small tube. With the vents extended, moisture will condense on the way out and run right back down into the sub trans.

Yeah, if you haven't been running in deep water you can hold off on the leaky seal thinking.

This is where you should probably keep related posts on the same thread so guys can see your history. I remember your subtrans oil post. And it was full of water. That's not going to clean up in one drain-and-fill.

Maybe @Hondasxs can merge these two threads for you. 🤔 What say you, El Jefe?

No problem, just keep related issues together so the history and context is there. 👍

Anyway, you might need 3-4 drain / fills to clear that up. Do it sooner than later, you want that water out of there.

Will do got to order some more oil

Use cheap oil, you can run any standard grade motor oil in the sub. No need to flush with the expensive stuff!
