Milky pump oil.
« on: March 23, 2014, 07:06:20 PM »
I have a Berkeley Jet, I added oil this past weekend after testing it at elsinore and Milky oil came out. Is this normal, What should I do?
I don't want any issues when I go to parker on April 10th weekend.

Basically you have an old dried up and/or damaged pump shaft seal on the bowl.

IMHO just put a little oil in it and run it until you get the extra time to pull it down and do an overhaul.

Maybe throw some 140 wt gear oil in it.

It won't hurt anything... No moving parts in there, it is a bushing bearing (X2) and a seal, that's it.

Hope this puts your mind at ease.
