My 70D has been sitting outside for several years, not tarped for the last two or three, and today I finally decided to change the oil (after fixing the huge leak from behind the flywheel - turns out the seal was not just leaking but completely gone, not even a piece remaining). Last week I did about an hour of bush hogging.
Anyhow, the crankcase oil came out black, and no water initially. But the 1st reduction cover drain was tan milkshake =8^O which means a well-mixed oil/water mixture, and a LOT of it. I mean over a gallon! I thought it was supposed to only hold a quart of oil? So obviously rainwater had been seeping into there somehow. But I can't figure out where it's getting in. Any ideas?
Now it occurs to me I'd better check the transmission oil for milkshake too...
